WHO WE WORK WITH
We work with boards and senior leaders of mission-driven organizations that span the fields of public health, economic development, social justice, art, and education. Our clients include foundations, nonprofits, and higher education institutions in North Carolina and the Southeast.
We have an unrivaled track record of success in working with search committees and boards to successfully identify their next leader. Elinvar’s high-touch, tailored search services extend beyond acceptance of an offer and into the new leader’s transition during their first year in the new role.
OUR PROCESS
A candidate’s success in leading one organization does not mean automatic success in leading yours. This is why our searches begin with spending time with you to learn about organizational culture and expectations for the next leader while developing the trust needed to effectively partner during the leadership transition.
After learning all that we can about what the next leader will encounter when they step into their new leadership role, we work with you to clarify what you are looking for in your new leader. Elinvar represents each client in an accurate and thoughtful manner with sensitivity toward staff, funders and other stakeholders that are vital to you during a leadership transition.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We work to make the process as smooth and time efficient as possible for you. You can expect the following from each Elinvar search.
Representing you in an accurate and thoughtful manner with sensitivity towards staff, funders, and other key stakeholders.
Leveraging both your network and our networks to reach a broad group of potential candidates.
Ensuring a transparent and well-documented process that includes the TTI Talent Insights assessment to ensure your new leader is a great match for your organization.
We protect the confidentiality of all candidates.
