The person behind the search.

Thomas Byrne, Founder of Osprey Search Partners Connect on LinkedIn

We founded Osprey Search Partners after more than a decade in recruitment, taking experience from large staffing firms and bring a more personalized and detailed approach to recruitment partnerships.

With over 400 placements we’ve placed integral professionals from CCO to CRO and General Counsel with firms ranging from $1bn to $300bn in assets across the United States.

Every search we take on is run by me personally, leveraging experience in executive search, technical qualification, offer management closing and relocation support & guidance.
