Redefining SearchLeaders in the advancement field now face unprecedented challenges in accomplishing their fundraising missions. With ever-larger comprehensive campaigns on recurring cycles, institutions face a dearth of effective fundraisers. This shortage is growing more acute because the number of development jobs is expanding rapidly each year.
In this hyper-competitive environment, the traditional approach to identifying and recruiting top talent is no longer sufficient. Leodas Search Group has pioneered a new method of development search based on our experience as specialists in recruitment of top fundraisers for pacesetting liberal arts colleges and research universities, academic medical centers and hospitals, and other not-for-profit institutions.
Our approach is based on:
- Understanding that talent – often more than experience – is a strategic asset of dynamic institutions. Talent is a key indicator of a person’s capacity to learn, grow, develop new skills, and handle evolving challenges.
- Grasping the unique character and situation of each client organization.
- Helping our clients to build teams as well as to fill individual positions.
- Identifying exceptionally accomplished professionals and matching them to environments where they will be successful.
- Discovering new sources of top talent through thoughtful and strategic research, core competency analysis, and behavioral assessment.
