Testimonials
“Sara is a recruiter with exemplary skill, insight, and warmth. She challenged us to think strategically about our non-profit’s growth and direction, and expertly helped us identify the qualities we were looking for in a critical hire to help achieve our vision. We knew we wanted someone experienced, nimble, and eager to help us grow. Sara found a diverse pool of talented candidates, and we were delighted with our eventual hire, an expert in resource development, who has already tripled our fundraising revenue. We recommend Sara with absolute confidence.”

“As Board and Search Committee Chair, I worked very closely with Sara on a search for Annie's List's next Executive Director. During the search, I was grateful for Sara's guidance, wisdom, and especially reliability, as well as her swift and complete grasp of what we were looking for. I'm thrilled about the hire we made. If an organization that I'm involved with in the future needs the services of a search firm, I will definitely recommend Sara”
— Heidi G, Board and Search Committee Chair, Annie’s List
“Sara truly stands out among executive recruiters. She wasn't interested in simply 'checking the box' for the client, but also in making sure the fit was right for me as the candidate - because she understands that the match has to be mutual in this type of role. She was communicative and honest throughout the process, and kept in touch after I started the job to ensure things were going well. Since then, Sara has always been generous with her time to provide advice and connections within the New York non-profit world. She would be my first choice in the future both as a client and a candidate.”
