Personal Brand Audit Checklist

See yourself as a search committee will

NONPROFIT CAREERSPersonal BrandAudit ChecklistGUIDECharity Search Group

Audit your brand the way a search chair will.

Before an executive recruiter reaches out, they Google you. This checklist walks through what a search chair actually looks at — LinkedIn, first-page results, tone of your public writing, and the gaps that make them hesitate to call. Honest, uncomfortable, and cheaper than finding out after a rejection.

What’s inside

  • The twelve-item search-chair audit — what they check, in the order they check it
  • A one-page "close the gaps" plan for the three items you're likely to fail on
  • Guidance on the old content you can't delete and what to do instead
  • A short section on the difference between a strong brand and a loud one

You may not need this if: You've been on the other side of a search and already know how you look on paper.
