Our executive search services provide you with a unique and deep skillset to find the best-fitting CEO and Executive Director candidates for your nonprofit organization:
- 25 years’ nonprofit CEO and Executive Director search experience
- Team members who themselves have held the CEO and ED positions, and can therefore facilitate the best possible process for recruiting, screening, interviewing and onboarding a new executive.
- Deep subject matter experience in a wide range of nonprofit sectors, including human services, affordable housing, environment, healthcare, arts, associations, and children and youth.
We work with your board of directors to manage the entire transition rather than simply facilitate a search for a new ED, to provide for the best overall impact for your organization. As a part of our retained search services, we support you through the entire process, handling all the search details to allow the board to focus on its governance role.

Each search includes a comprehensive transition management process:
- An overall organizational assessment as the foundation for the transition process
- Thorough assessment of candidate people skills as well as technical skills
- Two rounds of interviews
- Candidate assignment to further screen and assess suitability
- Onboarding support to align the workplan and evaluation criteria for the new executive with the board of directors.
What our clients are saying
I want to give special thanks to Mr. Jan Glick & Mr. Heyward Watson for your immense support and commitment to build this organization. Beyond facilitation of an excellent Executive Search, their guidance significantly strengthened both our governance and our operations. We could not have accomplished this much without you.

I don’t think our search could have been run more effectively! The partnership between Glick, Davis & Associates and Third Sector Company was excellent. Jan Glick & team skillfully guided us through the process, including outreach to and screening of candidates, thorough reference checks, and insightful facilitation of interviews.

At Social Venture Partners, Glick Davis & Associates kept our Executive search focused and on-track. His emphasis on change management made what can be a difficult transition following a founding Executive, much smoother. We are grateful for his help.

I registered for the Executive Leadership Institute with my usual reservations. However, my time in the Institute and coaching from Jan, of Glick Davis & Associates, have given me a new awakening to lead my board, staff and agency to greater places.

Jan's individual coaching sessions bring leadership back into focus for me and assures that the leadership role, which is so critical to the success of my organization, remains foremost in my mind. Jan's quiet reflective style and his long experience in the business world enables him to be supportive at the same time he asks the tough questions, pushing me to successfully confront my most difficult leadership challenges. Jan's coaching pulled it altogether, making the experience truly transformative and enabling me to really internalize and use the skills I learned in class.
