Development Officer Search

Top 6 Reasons to Hire Me to Conduct Your Next Development Officer Search

Picture

Who is the best person to hire as 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. It's 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.

I have heard time and again that "it's hard to find good development talent". It's not. 
You just have to have the relationships, reputation, and knowledge of fundraising that others do not. Here are some key factors that make my Development Officer Search service superior to large, expensive search firms: 

  • I have 40 years of fundraising experience and thousands of connections with Development officers, veterans, and juniors nationally and internationally
  • I am an internationally known name in fundraising. Well-known author, trainer, and speaker. 
  • I have developed over many years one of the most diverse pools of development talent in the nation
  • I work faster than most large, cumbersome search firms; most of my searches are concluded in under 2 months
  • I work cheaper than most search firms, charging 18% of salary when most firms charge 21-25%. 
  • I know the nuanced questions to delve into the true development talents of candidates. I give tough interviews that only the strongest candidates come through successfully. 
My procedure takes minutes to explain, so please fill out the form or reach out directly so we can talk about your hiring needs. I only hire Development Officers and fundraisers. Once we place the ads we need, I handle everything until I produce a set of highly interviewed and screened candidates for your team to interview, select, and hire.
