Summit’s consultants have provided search services within the nonprofit sector since 1997, and the demand for our services continues to grow. As Baby Boomers exit leadership posts in record numbers, the sector faces critical staffing challenges, particularly at a time when unemployment is low, and the sector is expanding. A 2017 study of the Washington, DC marketplace showed that 64% of nonprofits experienced at least one job candidate turning down the organization’s best offer. Partnering with a search firm can not only bolster outreach to attract a more robust candidate pool but can provide essential market data on competitive compensation.
Summit’s tiered service offerings provide cost-effective options for nonprofits – whether they need a comprehensive search or a streamlined sourcing effort.

Our commitment to diversity:
Summit is committed to providing diverse candidate slates to our clients.

Next, caring must translate into sourcing tactics that are implemented thoroughly. Summit guarantees that we will discuss diversity sourcing needs with each client for every search. We promise to create and implement a sourcing strategy that includes specialized diversity outreach that addresses the needs and aspirations of each organization and institution.
