Using the executive search process that we have developed specifically for the non-profit and social enterprise sectors, DRiWaterstone has guided a wide range of advocacy organizations—from the American Civil Liberties Union to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, from the League of Women Voters to the American Academy of Physician Assistants—to identify transformative staff at all levels.
DRiWaterstone searches deliver high-quality candidates—people who are passionately driven by advocacy missions and who drive relentlessly toward results—within 60 days. But as experts in the non-profit and social enterprise sectors, we believe that we have an obligation to deliver much more than that. Our founders created an executive search process designed to meet the short- and long-term needs of the sector. As one of the most effective search firms in the country, we pledge to recruit only those people who meet our own high standards and to redefine your search expectations in the process.
Our resources make us uniquely suited to deliver on this promise.
We are deliberately structured to ensure that one of our leaders plays a hands-on role in every search we conduct. Our leaders understand the challenges of the complex, multi-stakeholder partnerships through which advocacy organizations work, and they know where to recruit leaders who can marshal those partnerships to make new rules and, with them, new realities. Our leaders are supported by a carefully structured team of specialists that works together on every assignment. Drawing on our experience in the non-profit sector, our staff includes a dedicated Candidate Stewardship Associate who ensures that candidates have positive impressions of our clients—no matter the outcome of their own candidacies.
DRiWaterstone has built one of the largest networks in the country of leaders qualified for non-profit and social enterprise organizations. Our network includes leaders in executive leadership, government relations, national communications, and fundraising who understand how to develop a compelling case for support with a wide variety of audiences. We use cutting-edge search technologies to put this network at our clients’ fingertips.
After decades of work with some of the most recognized and effective organizations in the advocacy sector, we have the expertise and the courage to tell you what is right for your organization.
