Our services
We know that doing the work that drives social change is hard. We help you find the talent who can help you thrive in the face of challenges.
We understand that your org operates in a unique context with specific needs and challenges. Our range of services are designed to comprehensively meet the needs of mission-driven organizations—whether that means finding new staff, contracting short-term support to help build capacity, or engaging mentors or consultants to grow skills and provide strategic advice. And, we price our services in an equity-centered way, addressing nonprofits’ resource limitations while paying people fairly.
SEARCH SERVICES
Signature Search
Equity-centered and comprehensive executive and functional leadership search service
An executive search service that’s comprehensive and equity-centered from writing the job description to making an offer.
Our Signature Search includes a performance task which is most often a "two-way try-on" work simulation, where semi-finalists are paid to work on a real challenge so teams and candidates can experience what it’s like to work together.
Pricing: A fixed fee of 30% of annual salary for the role
Embedded Search
Hourly talent acquisition services designed to expand your existing hiring practices.
A talent search that’s designed to fit your budget, team capacity, and equity commitments.
We build a customized plan to help you administer your search process—including sourcing, screening, designing, and project management—and move quickly to execution.
We operate like part of your team, learn how to speak compellingly about your organization, and operate within your existing talent systems.
Pricing: A budget customized to your needs
CAPACITY BUILDING SERVICES
Fractional Capacity
Temporary or part-time contractors to fill capacity gaps.
The extra hands you need to build capacity across various areas of your organization (from comms to HR, finance to development.)
Tell us about your project or operational needs and we’ll find the right contractor to fill the role. Our network of experienced professionals, who are passionate about supporting mission-driven organizations, jump in when you have more to do than the time to do it.
Pricing: An hourly rate
Expert Advisory
Experienced social-sector professionals to build skills and knowledge.
Strategic consulting, skills training, and guidance to help your teams and org pivot and grow.
Advising is personal; we engage vetted Expert Advisors who are well-suited to your org’s situation and needs. Use them to help team members learn new skills, take on new responsibilities, and improve performance. Or tap into their guidance and experience to support leaders when making important strategic decisions.
Pricing: An hourly rate
