We have been in the search and recruitment business since 2000. We have successfully completed over 200 searches for
fundraising professionals in Northern California. We have the track record, deep knowledge of fundraising, and strong connections
to Northern California nonprofits to make us the most effective search firm in the sector.
We provide exceptional customer service and tailor our search services to each client's specific needs. In every search,
Pamela Cook directly assists the client/employer with each phase of the search and interviews and evaluates every candidate
we present.
To ensure the highest quality work, we focus only on development searches in Northern California. We provide expertise in
identifying, evaluating, and securing candidates. Because we work exclusively on development positions, we know the status
of the market, the potential pool of candidates, and the best ways to effectively reach those candidates. We have efficient
systems and techniques for identifying and evaluating candidates and for minimizing overhead costs. As a result, we can perform
a search cost effectively, particularly considering the staff time that is saved by our involvement.
We start with conversations with our clients so that we understand the opportunities and challenges of each search. We
assist in analyzing needs, preparing job descriptions, and developing salary targets. We then identify prospective candidates
through our network and by discussing the position with every promising candidate. We create detailed written assessments
of the top candidates after comprehensive interviews. We help with background checks, references, and salary negotiations.
Our team includes individuals who have served in key development roles and have unique knowledge and ability to reach out
to and evaluate skill sets of development professionals. Because of this, we can find and present candidates who best match
each nonprofit’s needs.
