CLIENTS WE SERVE
We partner with clients across the nonprofit sector—social impact and social justice organization, associations, and higher education, healthcare, and arts + culture institutions, so long as there is a social impact or mission-focus to our clients’ work.
Our goal is impact. While we focus on executive- and senior-level leadership positions, we recognize there are countless mission-critical roles beyond the executive team that have untold impact on an organization’s mission. We consider our firm “level-agnostic” to ensure we are considering the fullness of our client’s needs.
"I've dealt with a lot of recruiting firms and headhunters in my time, and you're the most thoughtful and organized firm I've encountered. It says a lot about you and your team, and I appreciate what you are doing here.
Whether or not this works out, I have introductions I'd like to make to organizations with roles to fill."
R. C.
COO Candidate 2022
"Cooper Coleman’s strength is taking a tailored approach that goes deep into understanding the role, the needs, the broader context, and even the differing perspectives on the Board as to what is needed for a role.
They go beyond just delivering what’s “on paper” in the job description, seek to truly understand the needs and perspectives, and also facilitate alignment on the Board so an incoming candidate is set up for success."
