"After vetting a number of firms, the Board of Meals On Wheels of San Francisco was persuaded that you were the very best fit as search consultants for an organization like ours. It was a challenging search because we were losing a much beloved and very effective CEO -- but you listened to our staff and board and friends of MOW, you exercised your magic, and you brought to us an incredible array of local and non-local candidates. Since you brought Ashley McCumber to us from Boston, MOW has continued to improve and grow in every way. Devoted, supportive, knowledgeable, wise - you are exceptional professionals in every conceivable way. Thank you, thank you, Bob and Mike!"

Leadership transition outcomes usually require more than executive search only, which makes us much more than leadership recruiters alone; supportive consulting throughout a leadership transition is often necessary to ensure a successful transition. Only if you are successful are we successful, and success is not just filling a position. This is where actual nonprofit leadership experience of an executive search firm can make all the difference. Our nonprofit transition services in San Francisco, CA, will help find the right fit for your company.
We believe that we should be available to you to do whatever we can to ensure a successful transition, and we do this pro bono. As a result, our executive search fee is for the full range of services embraced by transition management, and not for executive search alone.
