We value…

Impact

We are passionate about helping nonprofits fulfill their missions with the right leaders in place. Because every search is unique, we value quality over quantity and take on a limited number of searches to achieve exceptional results.

Nonprofit Experience

We believe it takes one to know one. Our recruiters know how to find and evaluate top talent because they have served as successful nonprofit leaders themselves.

Authenticity

What you see is what you get.
We bring honesty and
humility to the table
through our
servant-leader approach.

 

 

Integrity

We act with integrity, professionalism, and intention.
We strive to do the right thing for our clients and candidates.

 

 

 

Trust

We operate collaboratively to deliver customized solutions as a trusted partner from start to finish. We take confidentiality seriously, promote transparency whenever possible, and adhere to best practices so you can feel confident in our search process.

Tenacity

We prioritize communication and proactive outreach for each unique search. We steadily navigate any challenges and stick with you until a successful hire is made. Then we continue to support your leadership transition and stand behind our work.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION (DEI)

What it means for our clients:

The Moran Company is committed to fostering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at all levels. We are intentional about diversifying our own team - as well as attracting talented candidates with varied backgrounds and life experiences across nationality, ethnicity, race, skin color, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, spirituality, age, physical ability, veteran or military status, and more. Our firm uses proactive outreach, targeted networks and customized advertising strategies to ensure our recruiting efforts produce diverse candidate pools for our nonprofit clients’ consideration. We strive to engage a variety of perspectives and voices throughout our search process to ensure a successful result.

What it means to our team:

Our diverse team of senior search consultants and advisors is personally and professionally dedicated to DEI efforts. Some members have obtained certifications in recruiting for diversity. Other team members offer separate consultation services to nonprofits seeking support in this area. We recognize that fostering an equitable and diverse culture requires deliberate, sustained effort. Together, we reflect on how we can continue to learn and grow through collaborative discussions and firm-wide training as best practices evolve.

What it means to our firm:

In alignment with our strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we fully embrace the National Network of Nonprofit Search Consultants (NNSC) recently approved DEI statement. By adopting this statement, The Moran Company reaffirms our dedication to applying DEI in all aspects of our work. The Moran Company is proud to be a leader and active member of NNSC.

 

NNSC Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We members of the National Network of Nonprofit Search Consultants (NNSC) respect and value different life experiences and heritages. Voices from distinct backgrounds should be valued and heard. We endeavor to build an inclusive and equitable nonprofit sector where diverse leadership, staff, and volunteers feel truly valued and respected. We understand the value of representation in individual organizations and the nonprofit sector as a whole.

As we seek leadership talent for our nonprofit clients, we will work to promote diversity, inclusion, and equity as critical levers for the well-being of the organizations we serve. We will advocate for and support board and staff level thinking about how institutional racism and inequities impact our clients’ work, and how best to address those inequities.

We will challenge unquestioned assumptions about what it takes to be a strong leader at nonprofit organizations, and who is well-positioned to provide leadership. We will work to develop equitable and inclusive systems for being more intentional and conscious of bias during the hiring, promoting, or evaluating process. We will provide ongoing training for our staff on effective practices.
We will commit time and resources to expand more diverse membership within the NNSC. We will work towards dismantling systemic racism and inequities within our own policies and services.

We will improve our candidate pipeline by creating, implementing, and supporting programs and policies that foster diverse leadership.

NNSC members will proudly embody a sense of belonging where everyone is encouraged to bring their authentic selves to lead, create, and support sector change. We will lead with respect and tolerance for all. We will express it in client interactions and through everyday practices.
