and what they say about us ...
 
  crawfordconnect worked with us in a professional and timely fashion to develop core competencies and personality traits for a new vice-president that would best suit our foundation. The firm played a key role in advising us and helping us choose an excellent candidate.  
Alayne Metrick, president,
St. Michael's Hospital Foundation
We contacted crawfordconnect after we had conducted our own search but had difficulty finding a candidate with the right qualifications. crawfordconnect assessed the situation, listened carefully to our board and staff, and found the perfect candidate for the director of development position. We started to see results immediately and our program has moved forward significantly. We are so pleased with their work.

I really appreciated Jean's relentless pursuit of anything that she wasn't sure I had thought through. Big value added!
John Fleming, chief executive officer,
The Arthritis Society
Jean knows and understands the nonprofit sector very well. She is well networked, offers helpful context setting and leverages her industry expertise to benefit her clients. She also extended her support beyond executive search to introduce me, as a newcomer in this sector, to experts who are willing to share their vast expertise.

We have used the services of crawfordconnect for all of our resource development hires. We find the service to be very thorough and the candidates extremely well qualified for the specific positions. The reason for this is because Jean Crawford listens. Jean and her associates are all former development professionals so they know exactly what this very specialized profession requires in its staff. I would not consider using any other search fim but crawfordconnect.

When I started as executive director for The Arthritis Society, Ontario Division, I used crawfordconnect's services to help me build a highly effective team of senior fundraisers. crawfordconnect's knowledge of the industry, and of the people who are its rising stars, enabled us to find the right combination of competencies and work style. The investment we made is already paying off in improved staff morale, new initiatives and improved efficiencies, and increased board involvement in fundraising.
