Before we initiate a search, we meet with the executive leadership, staff, and key Board members to make certain that we have a thorough understanding of the culture, systems, and operation of our client organizations. This insures that our candidates are a good cultural fit.
The Search Counsel then prepares a list of organizations to be targeted based on similarity in culture and compensation. Our clients can also submit any list of organizations that they would like included in our prospect research.
An anticipated time-line for completion is delineated in the next tab: “When: Our Time Line.”

What sets us apart is that we conduct our searches expeditiously, and we work with each of our clients as if they are our only client.
“The Search Counsel made all the difference in our hiring a first-rate and seasoned fund raising professional. Joanna Ghiggeri asked all the essential questions and introduced us to individuals whose expertise and backgrounds closely met our needs. Joanna’s integrity, knowledge of the development field, and understanding of how to connect the “right” people with each other made the search process both productive and painless.”
