Understanding the leadership needs of nonprofit organizations is the hallmark of Spencer Stuart’s Education, Nonprofit & Public Policy Practice. We appreciate the delicate balance most organizations face in trying to juggle their missions, financial responsibilities, cost-effective operations and fundraising programs — and we know that leaders are not always found in obvious places. That’s why our clients have access to the most qualified pool of talent available, sometimes by looking in non-traditional places.
Spencer Stuart has been conducting top-level assignments for nonprofit clients since 1982. Reflecting a new strategic commitment to this sector, we have recently built the largest and most diverse nonprofit practice in the executive search industry. Our ability to identify and attract top executives to professional organizations around the globe is one reason we have conducted nearly 150 senior-level searches in the past year alone.
Our practice members are based around the world and have varied backgrounds in the public, private and nonprofit sectors. As a result, we have unparalleled insight into talent across multiple markets. Our industry expertise is complemented by seasoned search experience and supported by sophisticated research, an advanced proprietary database and a dedicated staff.
We share our clients’ commitment to diversity and are regularly called on to present a diverse slate of candidates. We work closely with Spencer Stuart’s Diversity Practice and have a strong record of placing under-represented minorities in key institutional leadership positions.
Acting as advisers to our clients, we customize assignments to support an organization’s strategy by combining best search practices with organizational needs and institutional realities. We work closely with boards, professional leaders and search committees to ensure that the skills of candidates are aligned with the organization’s culture and future needs.
