But when COVID-19 flattened the global economy – and many companies’ profits in 2020 – O’Neill Consulting Group Inc. kept clients front and center.
“We ran into the burning building while others were departing,” said Kevin O’Neill, managing partner of the South Kingstown-based firm he founded in 2004. “It was more about getting back to the basics.”
That meant traveling when no one else was, meeting clients face to face to discuss talent-search needs for senior- and mid-level management roles in various sectors, including private equity and front-line producers such as those in the consumer goods and health care industries.
As markets recover, so are revenues. Last year, O’Neill Consulting generated $4.5 million in revenue. Growing confidence is renewing interest in filling vacancies that have been dormant since the pandemic hiring freezes, as well as creating new roles to meet emerging post-pandemic needs.
