Building non-profit capacity through executive search and development services.
Using the executive search process that we have developed specifically for the non-profit sector, DRi has guided a wide variety of healthcare institutions—from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to Washington MedStar Hospital Center—to identify transformative staff at all levels.
DRi searches deliver high-quality candidates—people who are passionately driven by the healthcare mission and who drive relentlessly toward results—within 60 days. But as experts in the non-profit sector, we believe that we have an obligation to deliver much more than that. After decades of leading non-profit organizations, DRi’s founders created an executive search process designed to meet the short- and long-term needs of the non-profit sector. As one of the most effective search firms in the country, we pledge to recruit only those people who meet our own high standards and to redefine your search expectations in the process.
Our resources make us uniquely suited to deliver on this promise:
We are deliberately structured to ensure that one of our leaders plays a hands-on role in every search we conduct. As Board members of medical research organizations and executive search partners to research hospitals, our leaders have an intimate understanding of the multi-faceted nature of institutions that balance academic research and patient services. They know how to identify leaders who can be effective in working across that balance. Our leaders are supported by a carefully structured team of specialists that works together on every assignment. Drawing on our experience in the non-profit sector, our staff includes a dedicated Candidate Stewardship Associate who ensures that candidates have positive impressions of our clients—no matter the outcome of their own candidacies.
DRi has built one of the largest networks in the country of leaders qualified for non-profit organizations and the single largest network of fundraising leaders. Our network includes many hospital fundraisers who are accomplished at engaging medical staff and building grateful patient programs. We use cutting-edge search technologies to put this network at our clients’ fingertips.
After decades of work with some of the most prominent healthcare organizations, we have the expertise and the courage to tell you what is right for your non-profit.
