What is the role of the search firm and lead consultant in developing a position description and a candidate profile based on the planning priorities of our organization?
For each assignment, DHR works with the client’s Search Committee to develop and approve a position specification. DHR interviews members of the Search Committee as well as other key stakeholders within the client organization. James’ experience as a management consultant to nonprofit organizations will facilitate this process. For 11 years, while managing the global nonprofit search group for A. T. Kearney, he also led the global nonprofit management consulting group. (During James’ tenure with A.T. Kearney, 1990 to 2001, the firm grew to $1.3 billion in annual sales.) That experience with strategic planning, which continues today, adds value in understanding the client’s strategic plan and its implications for their next leader.
