Top Ten Reasons to Hire Me to Conduct Your Next Development Officer Search
​

Who is the best person to hire your next Development Officer? A Veteran Development Officer. Spotting talent is more than looking at a resume. It's knowing the work we do and the unwritten requirements each candidate needs to have. Its spotting the subtle type of personalities and it's asking the tough questions. Each search is tailor made for the role and culture of the institution.
1. I have 32 years’ experience in fundraising and development.
2. I am an international thought leader in development. Tens of thousands of Development Officers know my name.
3. My searches are generally set at 16% when most search firms charge 20-25%.
4. My searches are generally completed in less than 2 months because of my reputation and large network.
5. I only hire Development Officers. I have literally interviewed thousands of Development Officers in my career.
