Additional confidence for business-critical hires
16 Years Recruiting & Leadership Experience
Led searches across multiple industries and functions
Built for critical leadership and professional searches
When the right candidate is not actively looking, the search process has to be different.
We don’t wait for the right candidates to apply. We identify people with the experience the position requires, approach them directly, and find out what it would take for them to consider a move.
When a Search Isn’t Producing the Right Candidates
Sometimes a position has been open for months. The same candidates keep appearing. Internal recruiting has run its course, and the hiring manager still hasn’t seen anyone they want to hire.
That’s usually when clients call us.
What Happens When You Engage OnPoint Recruitment
Founder Mark Jones remains directly involved throughout every search, from defining the position through candidate evaluation and placement.

Our Boutique Recruiting Process
Every search starts with understanding the position, the business and why the hire matters. From there, we identify and approach people who have succeeded in similar roles, even when they aren’t looking for another job.
-
- Alignment First - Before we contact anyone, we make sure we understand the role, what success looks like and the kind of person who will work well in the organization.
-
Targeted Outreach – We identify people who have done similar work successfully and approach them directly, including candidates who aren’t actively looking.
-
Structured Evaluation – We look beyond whether someone can do the job to how they’ve performed, how they lead and whether the opportunity makes sense for both sides.
-
- Disciplined Presentation – We don’t send stacks of resumes. We present a small group of candidates we believe are worth your time.

Many of our clients engage us when traditional recruiting methods have failed, internal resources have been exhausted, or the position is simply too important to leave open.
That’s the kind of search we’re built for: difficult-to-fill leadership and professional positions where sending more resumes isn’t the answer.
