Founded by a group of nonprofit professionals to provide high-impact recruitment to high-impact organizations

Commongood Careers is a mission-driven search firm that is committed to social impact. Their purpose is to support the hiring needs of organizations that are dedicated to tackling today’s most pressing social problems. Because of their clients’ ambitious goals, they work hard to ensure that they are able to secure the talent they need to create even greater social impact.

They “get” nonprofits, because they are nonprofit people at heart. Prior to joining Commongood Careers, their team held leadership and talent-related roles at organizations such as Breakthrough Collaborative, Citizen Schools, City Year, Jumpstart, KIPP, TechSoup Global, and Teach For China. Members of their staff currently serve on a variety of nonprofit Boards and affinity groups, as well as participate in frequent speaking engagements at universities, foundations, and sector events.

To best serve organizations that lacked access to top talent and search expertise, Commongood Careers was the first nonprofit search firm to support hiring needs at every stage of organizational growth – in all functional areas and at all levels of seniority. Since their founding in 2005, they have successfully managed more than 700 searches with 275 organizations in 33 states, making us one of the most experienced nonprofit search firms in the country.

As they celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2015, their commitment to social impact and effective search services remains. Today, they are a team of recruitment and search management experts who embrace a results-oriented search model and demonstrate a passionate drive to help their clients grow and succeed.
