TALENT MANAGEMENT

Campbell & Company's Talent Management Practice offers a full menu of services to help your organization develop its greatest asset—your people.  Our team helps you keep your staff management and development goals on track, from recruitment to succession planning, and our services provide the flexibility necessary to respond to the ever-changing nonprofit marketplace.

Executive Search
Executive Search is the hallmark of our Talent Management Practice because we understand how crucial capable, dedicated executives are to an organization’s success.  In retained searches for senior-level nonprofit staff, we work closely with our clients to access top talent, paying careful attention to each organization’s culture and situation so that we can match the position with the strongest candidates. 

Drawing on an extensive database and a national network developed over more than 30 years of nonprofit consulting, we actively research and engage the market to produce the strongest possible candidate pool.  We screen candidates, conduct in-depth initial interviews, present recommendations and assist with offers and negotiations.

Transition Counseling
Tough times occasionally call for tough measures.  Our experienced consultants can advise on the best way to ease organizational transitions and provide advisory services for down-sized staff.  Our approach includes addressing practical needs such as resume consultation as well as personal concerns such as the financial and emotional repercussions of layoffs.  We also work with organizations to ensure that they have plans to address the redistribution of responsibilities, staff cross-training and employee morale.

Strategic Staffing
For critical, mid-level staff positions, we offer focused hiring guidance.  We assist in developing position guides, marketing the opportunity to our existing network of contacts, evaluating resumes, checking references and developing interview strategies to help ensure a successful hire.  Our process helps organizations minimize the expense of lost productivity and the risk of turnover from candidates who are not ideally matched to the organization’s culture and goals.

Organizational Design
Our years of hands-on experience in organizational development, human resources and nonprofit management help you implement a staffing structure that optimizes your organization so you can accomplish your goals as efficiently and effectively as possible.  We can assess current and future staffing needs, recommend structural changes and develop or revise position descriptions.

Leadership Assessment & Succession Planning
Our experienced professionals evaluate individual and team competencies to identify your leadership strengths and gaps.  We help you find high performers for future leadership roles, plan for succession and hone your professional development programs.  Our services include preparing orientation, training and professional development plans for senior-level staff and promising leadership candidates; defining career paths; benchmarking compensation to help you attract and retain top talent; and developing succession plans to ensure sustainability.

“Working with Executive Search and Fundraising teams, one thing was immediately clear – this was not going to be a typical vendor/client relationship. It was a true partnership right from the beginning. Campbell & Company’s first priority was always to help us achieve our goals.”
