From hello to handshake ─ and beyond.
Our Process:
Specs + Strategy
We give you a complete outline of plausible positions, and clarify your priorities and preferences. We’ll also draft a compelling job description and sales pitch for your avatar candidate.
*At this point, one third of the fee for the retained search is paid.
Identify + Interview
We dive into our vast pool of qualified and successful candidates to discover those looking for a new challenge. We then screen and interview our top picks for skills, cultural fit and interest.
Introduce + Initiate
Once the pre-vetted candidates have expressed interest, we submit their profiles to you within 4 weeks for review. Interviews begin and we’ll be in touch with both client and candidate every step of the way.
Navigate + Negotiate
As your strategic search partners, we coach and collaborate until your ideal candidate has negotiated his offer and signed on the dotted line.
Final candidate chosen?
Congratulations!
*The remainder of the retained search fee is paid at this point.

“Her calm demeanor and quiet professionalism throughout the search process was so appreciated”
“Looking for the “right” position is challenging and stressful. Shira made the process seem so simple and, I dare say, almost relaxed. Her calm demeanor and quiet professionalism throughout the search process was so appreciated. I was particularly gratified that she called me before each interview to coach me and provided invaluable insights along the way. I have already sent several people to Shira for her to help place them, knowing full well that she is the consummate professional and that the people I send will be well taken care of. I highly recommend Shira for your next not-for-profit job search!”
