WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH US
“As the director of the New Hampshire ACLU affiliate, I just wrapped up a search for a Deputy Director in collaboration with [Impact Search Advisors]. I wanted to relay that it was an excellent experience. From beginning to end, [the ISA Consultant] kept the search moving, kept all of the details organized, and was extremely communicative about the process. I was extremely impressed with diverse pool of qualified candidates she recruited, as well as her process for vetting candidates and presenting their qualifications. I am also thrilled about the candidate we ultimately hired, who I think is going to be a transformative addition to our team.”
—Devon Chaffee, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire
