1. Information gathering and planning
We initiate each search by conducting transparent and thorough interviews with key stakeholders in your organization, including the Board, staff, clients, and community partners. Our aim is to gain a profound understanding of your organization. Subsequently, we collaborate with you to define your ideal candidate, crafting your Invitation to Apply.
2. Recruiting
We collaborate closely with your search/selection committee and staff to create clear and consistent messaging for your position. Following that, we leverage our extensive network and invite your organization to leverage its network to effectively market your position, ensuring it reaches the right audiences. We then identify and proactively contact potential candidates in preparation for the screening process.

3. Screening and Selection
We conduct thorough screening and evaluation of candidates, curating a recommended list of at least 6 highly competitive candidates for the initial round of interviews. A CLEAR-facilitated interview panel of staff is invited to be involved at this stage. We then facilitate the final round of interviews. This allows many voices from your organization to be heard.
Active Listening
We firmly believe that success begins with empathy. This belief guides our practice of active listening, a cornerstone of our entire process—from engaging with your key stakeholders to conducting interviews with potential candidates.
Diverse Network
Our proprietary network, including a substantial LinkedIn following, political connections, community involvement, and established relationships with major corporate affinity groups, guarantees that your position will receive visibility among engaged and diverse audiences.
Respect
Respect is at the forefront of our firm. From grasping the distinct needs of your organization to evaluating the unique qualifications and experiences of your candidates, our commitment to respect underscores every step, ensuring an optimal match.
Impartial Process
