Understanding Your Needs
The foundation of a successful search begins with listening. We take the time to deeply understand your organization, its culture, leadership dynamics, and long-term vision. In this in-depth consultation, we uncover the key competencies, leadership traits, and relational qualities that will make a candidate successful in your environment. This step ensures we are aligned with your needs from the very beginning, setting the stage for a highly tailored search.
Targeted and Strategic
With a clear understanding of your needs, we design a customized search strategy that extends beyond job descriptions and qualifications. We tap into our extensive network and leverage market insights to identify top-tier talent, focusing on both active and passive candidates who align with your organization’s culture and stage of growth, whether a startup, growing company, or established enterprise. Our strategic and consultative approach ensures we identify candidates who have both technical expertise and the ability to foster strong relationships within your team.
Depth Beyond Resumes
Our screening process is where our expertise in talent management truly shines. We conduct in-depth evaluations, assessing each candidate’s leadership abilities, interpersonal effectiveness, and cultural fit, not just their qualifications on paper. Through behavioral interviews and leadership assessments, we ensure candidates align with your organization’s unique needs and challenges. We also assess how well they build and sustain relationships, a key factor in long-term leadership success.
The Right Leaders, Not Just the Right Résumés
We don’t just present a list of applicants, we deliver best-fit candidates. Every executive we recommend has been carefully assessed for leadership style, team compatibility, and alignment with your organization’s vision and culture. We provide detailed insights and guidance on each finalist, helping you make an informed decision with confidence.
Ensuring a Smooth Agreement
Navigating executive-level offers and negotiations requires finesse, strategy, and a deep understanding of both parties' needs. We act as a trusted partner throughout this process, helping structure offers that attract top talent while aligning with your company’s compensation philosophy and long-term retention goals. Our relationship-first approach ensures transparency, trust, and alignment between you and your future executive.
Setting Up for Long-Term Success
Our commitment to your success doesn’t end once an offer is accepted. We provide transition coaching to help your new leader integrate smoothly into your organization. We support both the executive and your team in establishing strong working relationships, aligning expectations, and ensuring a seamless transition. This added step helps drive long-term success by reducing onboarding challenges and accelerating impact.

Sherri was an absolute joy to work with...
She helped me find a dream job in Human Resources that touched upon everything I was looking for; mission driven, values based, nonprofit, local to where I live, a great team and an exceptional manager. I found that and so much more where Sherri placed me. As a candidate, the job search process can be daunting and a negative experience. I had the exact opposite with Sherri and her team. After my first call with her, I was flooded with excitement but also, the feeling that even if this role did not come to fruition, I wanted to keep working with Sherri. I would recommend Sherri to any candidate and any company. She is an incredible asset to have, and the kind of person you want to have in your network. I know I certainly will for many years to come.
