We are experts who believe that social sector work has tremendous impact.
We want to support the people who drive that work.
Our story
Reamy Consulting Group was born in 2014 out of the realization that while nonprofits face a litany of unique challenges that are out of their control—policy gaps, underfunding, changing political landscapes, etc.—there was one area in which orgs did have control: building a great team.
Our team understands that building a great team isn’t simply creating a job title—chief of people and culture, say, or education director—attaching it to a standard job description, and then plugging it in with someone whose resume closely mirrors that description. Rather, in order for people to succeed at doing the hard work of social change, they have to be in a role in which their skills and values are a match for the challenges and opportunities that come with any given organization’s unique context and culture.
We help social sector orgs first gain clarity about your talent needs, and then efficiently and effectively match talent to fit those needs.
Our equity commitment
We are deeply committed to diverse, tenured, and successful leadership in the social sector. At the beginning of any client relationship, we really get to know you so that we understand how diversity shows up in your org culture and strategic priorities. We then tap our networks to source diverse applicant pools that meet those priorities.
Our commitment to diverse leadership doesn’t stop at recruitment. We design systems and processes that are intentionally equitable for all candidates—such as competency-based interviews that minimize bias and paid “try-on” exercises, where candidates get to show what they can do. We are particularly committed to advancing Black, Latinx, and Indigenous leadership and have found that our approach has contributed to the broader diversification of leadership in the social sector.
We are a queer-owned business. As our own team expands, we are committed to representing the rich diversity of our society with a focus on hiring individuals from all identities and backgrounds.
Our team
We bring an immense diversity of expertise and experience. We come from nonprofits, schools and districts, foundations, and higher education. We call all four time zones home. We are first generation college students, multilingual speakers, parents, and partners. The majority of our team identifies as BIPOC. A significant number of our team also identifies as LGBTQ+.
We are passionate about matching talent with our clients where there is deep and mutual fit. We think about the working relationships that are founded upon any hire—supervisor/supervisee relationships, team relationships—and whether those will be successful. Ultimately, we all believe that social sector work has tremendous impact, and we want to support the people who drive that work.
We pride ourselves on being a firm that continuously anticipates and adapts to a shifting talent landscape—one in which remote work and gig workers, for example, are becoming more normalized. As RCG has grown from a one-person shop to a robust agency, we’ve followed the path we strive to lay out for clients.
