We specialize in not-for-profit leadership searches primarily due to the complexity and level of engagement required. Our approach in working with Executive Teams and Search Committees is hands-on and fosters a high-touch, transparent process to drive forward the search in the timeline necessary for the organization’s success.
With 20 years’ experience in providing executive search services to organizations throughout Upstate New York, we specialize in searches that allow us to work with not-for-profit organizations. The transparency and trust required between a search consultant, volunteer committee members and the executive leadership team is of utmost importance. We work hard to build that trust early in the process through strong communication, weekly reporting and consistent availability.
JKExec goes beyond the traditional search criteria to factor in the human elements – personality, behavioral tendencies and leadership qualities so that we can secure the right professional for your organization. Through our certification in TTI Success Insights 12 Driving Forces and DISC, our ability to assess the proper fit for your organization is thorough.
We know that your specialized needs are critical to the selection process. That’s why we work closely with you from the very beginning of the search process. With a commitment to complete every search expeditiously and effectively, we have a process driven by timelines that ensures success.
Upon its inception, JKExec has been committed to providing a level of service that differentiates
ourselves from the competition. Our differentiators include:
- National Reach, Local Service
- Board Leadership Experience
- Our Partnership Approach
- Process Driven Timeline & Structure
- Attention to Detail
- Consistent Communication & Availability
By way of example, JK Exec has recently proven the merit of our process through the successful completion of the following related searches at Not-For-Profit Organizations:
- President & Chief Executive Officer (4)
- Chief Advancement Officer
- Executive Director
- Controller
- Interim Chief Operating Officer
- Managing Director of Business Services
Recently our organization partnered with JK Executive Strategies to assist us in filling our President & CEO position as our incumbent announced his retirement. As a diverse not-for-profit human services agency, our needs in filling this position were unique. JK has an excellent understanding of the current climate as well as processes aimed at assisting Board members navigate through the recruitment process. JK provides comprehensive status updates weekly which allow Search Committees and Board members to be informed regularly about the recruitment activities which are taking place. This is invaluable as many Committee and Board members are volunteers and are not necessarily frequently engaged in the recruitment process. JK is very knowledgeable, professional and results oriented in helping not-for-profits hire the right person to fill leadership positions. It was a pleasure working with JK for our project and I would highly recommend JK for any organization that has a need.
