Our Process

1. Discovery & Assessment

We begin by deeply understanding your organization’s mission, values, and leadership needs. Through thorough organizational assessments, we define the leadership qualities required to lead your nonprofit into the future. We build a 360 degree view of the ideal candidate by incorporating input from all stakeholders.

2. Defining the ideal candidate and aligning expectations

Our comprehensive candidate profile report merges internal insights with current market trends to ensure expectations are both realistic and aligned with your organization’s goals. We focus on key impact areas, ensuring a strong match between a candidate’s lived experience and professional qualifications. Each job description is carefully reviewed for inclusive language and transparency, creating clear communication with candidates. By aligning all stakeholders from the start, we ensure everyone is on the same page throughout the hiring process.

3. Targeted Search & Outreach

Using our vast network and industry expertise, we conduct a targeted search to identify candidates who align with your mission. We actively engage with diverse talent, ensuring at least 50% of our shortlists include BIPOC candidates. We custom build each talent pool, tailored to the unique needs of our clients.
