About OneSource Professional Search

OneSource Professional Search has been serving the Energy, Oil & Gas, and related industrial markets for more than 20 years.

We are now expanding our Energy Practice through a Partner model designed for experienced search professionals and senior industry relationship-builders who want to build a focused practice with the support of an established executive search platform.

This is not a traditional recruiting job. This is a Partner opportunity.

OneSource combines deep industry experience with recruiting operations, research support, delivery infrastructure, and in-house technology, including homegrown AI-enabled sourcing, market intelligence, and recruiting workflow tools.

Our goal is to help Partners build stronger client relationships, execute searches more effectively, improve delivery productivity, and optimize practice-level P&L performance.

We are looking for Partners who want to grow with technology, use modern recruiting infrastructure, and build a profitable Energy search practice over time.

The ideal candidate is an experienced search, staffing, or energy-sector relationship leader with deep market credibility, strong client relationships, and the ability to grow a profitable practice.

You will have the opportunity to leverage OneSource’s established market presence, client history, recruiting operations, research resources, delivery support, and in-house AI-enabled tools while building your own book of business and managing practice performance.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the growth and development of the Energy Practice.

Ideal Background

• 10+ years of executive search, professional recruiting, staffing, or energy-sector business development experience.
• Existing relationships within Oil & Gas, Energy Services, EPC, or adjacent energy markets.
• Demonstrated ability to build long-term client relationships and generate revenue opportunities.
• Experience growing a book of business, practice area, client portfolio, or market vertical.
• Understanding of revenue, gross margin, delivery performance, and practice-level economics.
• Strong consultative and relationship-building skills.
• Interest in using technology, AI-enabled tools, research, and operational systems to improve practice performance.

• Comfort operating in a performance-based Partner model.

Partner Model & Compensation

This is a performance-based Partner opportunity with upside tied to revenue generation, client expansion, delivery performance, profitability, and long-term practice growth.

Expected first-year earnings potential: up to $300,000+, based on experience, existing relationships, revenue generation, client expansion, and practice performance.

Long-term earning potential may be significantly higher as the Partner builds a larger book of business and practice platform.

Final compensation structure is being reviewed with advisory input and will be discussed directly with qualified candidates.
