Executive Search
The complexities of an executive search sometimes reveal an unexpected direction that a nonprofit must take to effectively fill its leadership needs. At Solutions for Associations we emphasize a complete partnership in this extremely important element of the success of your organization. Although each and every executive search assignment will be customized to the client's unique situation, we have developed a "best practices" approach to providing all clients with the executive search assistance that they need.
We will draft a comprehensive executive search report that represents the current and future leadership needs of the organization. This report will describe the role, title, reporting relationships, education, and experience required to meet the agreed upon performance criteria.We help you look at the search process strategically. Evaluate your organization's growth and senior management needs. Consider the type of structure and the types of leaders you need.
We open and enable the process to consider all candidates. Always considering internal candidates just as carefully as external ones.
We create an open environment to shift your search thought process. We give additional insight into the needs of the organization, the right fit for their culture and the important requirements for the position.
We enable your organization to understand realistic expectations. With our years of experience we assist in developing a broad understanding of the expectations of all stakeholders in the search process. This could involve a number of in-person and phone interviews with key constituents.
We review with you on the qualities of hires that worked and those that didn't. By evaluating your organization needs and past experiences we develop the optimal requirements for the search by finding a candidate who would thrive in your organizational culture.
We will identify qualified potential candidates through our sources and candidate files, new research, and through conversations with individuals in the industry. Original research and an experienced targeted recruiting strategy are essential to finding professionals with the appropriate mix of qualifications, motivation, compensation level, and interest.
During the search process, we provide clients with an analysis, which includes a summary of potential candidates. This allows us to report our progress early on, inform the client of feedback we are receiving from the field, and receive feedback from the client on the preliminary candidates' qualifications.
