Representing our clients authentically and as if we are members of their team.

Preserving the respect and dignity of every candidate we engage, chosen or not.​

Our Approach

We are a collaborative team of nonprofit and executive search practitioners who leverage our deep bench of experience in and knowledge of the nonprofit sector to extend the capacity and competitiveness of our client organizations. We provide hands-on, comprehensive talent acquisition support that goes beyond their expectations of a search partner in every way. Put simply, we are willing to do the work that doesn’t scale, because nonprofit and social sector organizations are no less deserving of the highest-quality executive search services than any corporation or organization with exceedingly large budgets and capacities to spend.

We prioritize two critical aspects often foregone in the interest of efficiency and profitability:

Based in Chicago, with offices and team members in Cincinnati, Columbus, Washington, DC, New York, and California, we invest considerable resources and effort to support and develop our team. All our clients are committed to social justice and equality, and our work environment embraces these values.
