Talent Recruitment Leaders for DEIB

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are embedded in Lindauer’s identity and practice. For 25 years, we have been authentic and intentional in community-building and engagement with individuals of diverse lived experiences, and we continue this work every day. We have worked with mission-driven organizations, colleges and universities, culture and arts organizations, hospitals and medical centers, and health, policy, justice, and issue-centered agencies to identify transformational leaders in DEIB.

Lindauer recognizes the importance of strong leadership in all organizations. We know the right DEIB leader champions, promotes, and guides an organization’s inclusion strategy and diversity initiatives. Our extensive network of accomplished leaders includes those who demonstrate a deep understanding and expertise of DEIB and knowledge of national and global trends. These individuals understand how to cultivate an enduring work culture with individuals of diverse backgrounds at all levels so that all employees can grow and succeed.

Finding the inspirational leader to drive initiatives requires an effective search process. The partnership approach we take at Lindauer reflects decades of best practice honed on leading principles from every nonprofit sector. We know what works and what does not. Leveraging our renowned networks, we deliver an effective, step-by-step process driven by a structured timeline and high communication to identify and retain the successful hire.

“We interviewed five firms and Lindauer’s presentation impressed us. The team they assembled was a strong mix of individuals; a lot of time and thought went into it and that stood out to us. We also looked at Lindauer’s DEI experience and when we asked about their approach, we got answers that were honest and authentic, demonstrating a genuine commitment to their own work as a firm. The search process was clear, and we felt they truly understood our needs, delivering incredible candidate pools that ultimately resulted in outstanding hires.”
