Larry Rubin is the Founder and Managing Partner of Talent Partners, an executive search and leadership advisory firm he established in 1996. Over nearly three decades, Larry has built one of the most respected national executive search practices, completing more than 1,900 placements across mid-market, emerging growth, and global organizations.

He leads every engagement personally, a commitment that has made Talent Partners a trusted partner to boards, CEOs, and senior HR leaders navigating their most consequential talent decisions. His work spans the full arc of executive talent: identifying and placing senior leaders, advising on leadership structure and succession, and supporting individual executives through high-stakes career transitions.

Larry’s approach is grounded in over 30 years of firsthand market knowledge, not theoretical frameworks. Because Talent Partners remains active in executive search every day, the intelligence he brings to clients is current, practical, and directly sourced from hiring managers, compensation data, and real-time role demand across industries.

In recent years, Larry has been recognized for translating the disruption created by AI and workforce automation into actionable hiring strategy. He works with leadership teams to understand how evolving technology is reshaping role design, talent requirements, and the competitive landscape for senior talent. Talent Partners has been hired by five of the top ten search firms, while Larry has integrated AI-enabled talent intelligence into its practice, giving clients a level of market precision that traditional search firms are only beginning to approach.

The Talent Partners Career Advisory and Executive Outplacement practice reflects the natural extension of Larry’s search experience. Having spent 30 years on the hiring side, he brings that lens directly to the executives he coaches, delivering a fundamentally different kind of outplacement: market-informed, search-calibrated, and designed to move senior leaders forward with real velocity. Larry is sought as a speaker, contributing author and advisor on executive hiring trends, leadership transitions, AI’s impact on the talent market, and the future of senior career management.
