Executive Search and Transition
We Recruit Committed Leaders for Mission-Driven Organizations
At TSNE, we understand the challenges that impact mission-driven organizations. We know that people are central to ensuring an organization meets its mission.
We take a relationship-centered, holistic, and process-oriented approach to executive search and transitions. By putting equity at the forefront, we partner with organizations to find passionate, qualified talent, while helping leaders successfully transition.
These leadership transitions are often complex: long-term leader and founder departures, inaugural hires, co-director transitions, internal candidates, and other similar scenarios. Our team has deep expertise in the executive search industry across different fields and geographies.
Approach and Process
We lead an equity-driven and co-designed approach to executive search. We identify exceptional leaders and support organizations through their transitions by meeting their unique needs and navigating organizational change. Guided by our shared values of justice, progress, and impact, we work with organizations through collaboration, transparency, and trust, using a holistic search process.
Preparation and Planning
We develop and conduct a leadership needs assessment to gather input from a diverse set of internal and external stakeholders. This leads to a well-informed executive leadership profile that is foundational to the success of the search. We develop a personalized search strategy and outreach plan to identify and engage qualified and diverse talent.
Recruitment: Sourcing, Screening, and Selection
We develop a customized and targeted outreach plan to reach a diverse and highly qualified pool of candidates to ensure your organization will find the right candidate. Our search experts will partner with you to lead a thoughtful and equitable search process, doing the heavy lifting in sourcing and screening candidates, preparing you for interviews, and facilitating a careful selection process.
Onboarding for Success
We work with newly hired candidates and the organization to ensure the onboarding process is as smooth as possible. This process can include support on communication planning, developing an onboarding workplan, setting performance goals and measures, and conducting informal check-ins with the new hire.
Work with TSNE
We have worked with over 350 organizations to lead executive searches to successful placements. Since 2019, our team has had a 100% initial placement success rate, with 99% of placements remaining in their position in the first year and 90% after five years.

We have successfully placed hundreds of executives in mission-driven organizations nationally across the nonprofit sector.
