We've led hundreds of searches. We've also been executive directors and board chairs so we understand what makes nonprofits and nonprofit searches succeed. An executive transition is an opportunity to take stock of your organization and understand why your director is leaving. We can help you identify and come to agreement about the leadership needs you have going forward. We know the nonprofit community so we can help you recruit strategically and effectively. We'll lead an in-depth process to evaluate applicants, engage staff appropriately, and be sure everyone is treated in the most professional way possible. We'll help you use your time efficiently and effectively, in a way that helps both you and the top candidates evaluate if this is the right position for them. Even candidates who are not selected often comment that they feel honored and respected by the process.
A search generally takes five to six months. Make sure that time is well organized and productive. Your staff and your new director will be grateful.
Please consider this a glowing recommendation of the Executive Director search services provided by Jani Iverson and Page Two Partners from a candidate’s perspective. From the outset of the process as a candidate, which started with the Executive Director job announcement, I was impressed by how thoughtfully the values of the organization were articulated and linked to the attributes sought in the next leader. I can enthusiastically recommend Jani and Page Two Partners, and would not hesitate to work with them on executive search or other nonprofit support services.
Our experience with Jani and P2P was exceptional. This is the second time that I have headed up an Executive Director Search. P2P’s involvement made this process 100 times better than the previous process. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an Interim Executive Director, or firm to assist with an Executive Director search.
