About Staffing Advisors

Founded in 2002, Staffing Advisors is a Washington, DC-based retained executive search and consulting firm serving nonprofits and associations nationwide. Our Results-Based Hiring® framework for executive recruiting, organizational structure, and job design is a competency-driven, inclusive approach to building high-performing teams.

The SA Team

The Staffing Advisors team partners with mission-driven leaders to develop thoughtful, strategic solutions to their toughest staffing challenges. We provide personalized support to both hiring organizations and candidates, building lasting relationships through transparency, accountability, and respect.

Client Experience

Our clients work every day to make life better for others, and we do everything we can to help them succeed. Lasting partnerships are the foundation of our business model—more than 87% of our work comes from repeat clients.

In the Press

Because Staffing Advisors conducts so many leadership searches for associations and nonprofits, reporters often ask us for comments about the job market, trends in hiring, and perspective on how to improve the hiring process.

Strategy First

We guide your team through an in-depth discovery to clarify your goals and define impact before crafting a custom executive search, organizational structure, or job design strategy. We uncover what your organization truly needs, then help you build a team to deliver it.

Unconditional Guarantee

We stand behind our work with a replacement guarantee of two years for CEOs and 18 months for every other career level. That means your new hire delivers results or we replace them. No hidden conditions.
