About OnPoint Recruitment
OnPoint Recruitment is a leadership search and professional recruiting firm that helps organizations fill important, difficult-to-fill positions. Much of our work involves finding and engaging experienced professionals who aren’t actively looking for another job.
Based in Houston and serving clients nationwide, OnPoint Recruitment works with companies that need a more focused search than job postings and traditional recruiting have been able to provide.
Why OnPoint Recruitment Was Founded
After years in executive search, talent acquisition and corporate leadership, Mark Jones founded OnPoint Recruitment after seeing the same problem repeatedly: companies settling for the best available candidate instead of going into the market to find the person they really needed.
Sometimes the position had been open too long. Sometimes internal recruiting had exhausted the obvious candidates. And sometimes the pressure to make a hire simply became greater than the willingness to keep searching.
OnPoint Recruitment was built around a different approach - understand what the company actually needs, identify people who have succeeded in similar situations and approach them directly, including those who aren’t looking for another job.
About Mark Jones
Mark brings more than 16 years of recruiting and talent acquisition experience, working with executives, business leaders and HR teams on leadership and difficult-to-fill professional searches.
His perspective on recruiting also comes from having been on the other side of the hiring decision. His corporate leadership experience gives him an understanding of what hiring managers need from a search partner—not simply candidates, but clear communication, honest market feedback and people worth taking the time to interview.
That philosophy also applies to candidates. People deserve to know where they stand, what to expect next and when they’ll hear back. Candidates shouldn’t have to chase a recruiter for updates or wonder whether they’ve simply been forgotten.
How candidates are treated during a search reflects on the company we’re representing, so we take that part of the work seriously.
Our Approach to Candidates
Good candidates have choices, and how they’re treated during a search matters.
We give candidates a clear picture of the opportunity, set realistic expectations, and keep them informed throughout the process. If there’s nothing new to report, we don’t disappear. And when a candidate isn’t the right fit, we believe they deserve to know.
That matters to our clients too. Every conversation we have with a candidate reflects on the company we represent, so we treat those relationships accordingly.

How We Work
We don’t take every search. We take the ones where we can make a real difference.
We start by understanding your business, where the role fits, what’s driving the hire and what the person will actually need to accomplish.
We keep things simple with our 4-Step approach:
-
We listen first.
-
We tell your story well in the market.
-
We bring you strong candidates - not a stack of résumés.
-
We guide the process so decisions stay clear and timely.
Founder Mark Jones remains directly involved throughout every search, giving clients consistent access to senior search leadership from kickoff through placement.
