Education & Social Impact Executive Search

 

Dedicated executive recruiters for the education, nonprofit, and social impact sectors

For mission driven organizations, it takes strong leadership to power human potential, forge the way for scalable innovation, and make an enduring impact. Today’s most influential organizations are those led by dynamic, transformative, and diverse leaders capable of driving change and providing support in a rapidly changing world.

That’s why at JM Search we’ve built a highly experienced and deeply connected team of experts dedicated to matching inspirational and forward-thinking leaders with mission driven organizations. Regardless of the type of environment (education, nonprofit, corporate), we take pride in gathering a full understanding of the unique needs of each organization and recognize the critical importance of getting it right when hiring at the executive level. At JM Search, we’re dedicated to supporting the ever-evolving needs of our clients to ensure their organizations are making a lasting impact. Since 1980, we’ve expected nothing less and neither should you.

“We are thrilled with the combination of leadership experience and deep industry knowledge that our new CEO brings. The JM Search team took the time to fully understand the unique needs of the business, present a highly qualified group of candidates to our search committee, and then guided us through an in-depth diligence and interview process to ensure we chose the right person for the position.”
