Embattled CTPartners facing new sex bias allegations

The hits keep coming for embattled Wall Street recruiter CTPartners.

The executive search firm, whose stock has been battered by sexual discrimination allegations, is facing fresh accusations of wrongdoing in new court papers filed this week, adding to its litany of woes.

Shareholders filed an amended class-action suit that claims former CEO Brian Sullivan and COO William Keneally withheld information about discrimination allegations to “artificially inflate” the stock price. The complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, comes as the shares have been in a free-fall for six months.

The stock, which closed at an all-time low of $1.34 on Thursday, has plunged 93 percent drop since December, when The Post first reported the company is facing an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission into whether senior executives stripped women of profitable accounts and discriminated against female employees.

Sullivan, who stepped down amid the scandal, also subjected his employees to lewd behavior, including stripping naked at a boozy company event in 2012, workers alleged in the complaint filed with the EEOC.

In the amended shareholder complaint, five former employees describe a den of discrimination where men did little work and saw few consequences, while women were let go when the company didn’t want to pay them.

One former employee claims that top executives would muscle into women’s assignments in order to get a portion of the finder’s fee even if they did no work.

An unnamed male managing partner would read the newspaper during client calls and disparaged a woman to a client while they were both on a call — and still he got a 65 percent cut of the fee, according to the complaint.

When the woman complained to human resources, she was told, “It’s going to be wasting your breath if you talk to Brian [Sullivan] about it,” the suit said.

Another former employee claims she was the 13th woman over the age of 40 to be let go in 18 months. Men who hadn’t made billings in three years stayed on the company’s dole while women who brought in $500,000 were let go without the pay they had earned, according to the suit.

“We wouldn’t comment on any pending litigation,” Jennifer Silver, a CTPartners spokeswoman, told The Post.
