EXECUTIVE SEARCH SERVICES |
The departure of a CEO/Executive Director, or other key nonprofit leader is often the greatest risk an organization will face. This transition can strain both staff and volunteer board members. Locating the right successor with the leadership skills, connection to mission and ability to work with board and staff can be a long and challenging process. Most nonprofits recognize that an experienced guide can help navigate the process, finding common ground between board and staff, while identifying the right leader for the organization’s future.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)The Valtas Group recognizes the privilege that the historically white-led consulting and recruiting industry represents and the inherent systemic bias which prevents people of color and those with other diverse perspectives from participating in an equitable and inclusive process. We strive to deeply understand where each client is on the spectrum of social justice and equity and adapt our processes to support and advance the client’s goals.

CollaborativeThe Valtas team works collaboratively with our clients to align our executive search processes with your unique organizational needs. We invest time up front to gather stakeholder input, working to deeply understand your organization’s priorities and the background, skills and experience that will best match your priorities. Generally, our search services are broken into four phases: Planning; Sourcing/Screening and Candidate Development; Final Interviews and Selection; and Onboarding and Launch.

Non-TraditionalAt Valtas we don’t interview candidates for a job; we build relationships. Our network allows us access to top candidates not easily available via more traditional channels. Many of these candidates don’t respond to routine advertisements because they are busy working, but instead seek us out because of our reputation, our integrity for all parties, and of course confidentiality.

"Ed Rogan from Valtas Group provided Executive Search for a new CEO. Ed brought decades of experience to the Search process. He was able to work with staff and the Board to develop an up to date job description and requirements. Valtas conducted a wide search which yielded nine qualified candidates. Ed worked closely with the Board and a Search Committee to narrow the list to a smaller group to be interviewed. He handled all of the arrangements of the interviews, assisting with obtaining a suitable location and interview materials, including detailed background investigation work. |
