We intentionally engage with a select number of clients at a time, and complete each search with quality, speed and care.

EXPERTISE

EXPERTISE

More than 50% of our searches are for CEOs or successors to founders; we also bring a deep track record recruiting CFOs, COOs, heads of Strategy, Evaluation/Learning, Marketing and Innovation for high-performing nonprofits, foundations, social enterprises and mission-driven businesses working in animal welfare, education, environment, global development, health/wellness, human services (child welfare, disability services, workforce development), and policy.

RELATIONSHIPS

RELATIONSHIPS

We act as your agent in the market, purposefully developing relationships for you and your organization during our outreach. We remain connected with leaders and clients years beyond the successful completion of a search.

RIGOR

RIGOR

We conduct intensive market research, leverage vast cross-sector and cross-industry networks that have been built over decades, working tirelessly to engage top talent.

“I highly recommend Kathleen and Viewcrest Advisors for filling leadership positions. In fact, the more difficult the search, the more you need her. I haven’t worked with a firm that invests more time and effort to learn about your organization in order to find the right person. My usual experience is that the “pitch” is better than the “reality.” This is not the case with Viewcrest—the pitch was great and the reality was even better.”
