Nonprofit Executive Search Testimonials
James Braun, President & CEO
Youth In Need
St. Charles, MO
“When our state association of non-profit organizations began a search to succeed our long-tenured and successful CEO, we knew it would be challenging to find someone with the depth of experience and skills we needed. We turned to The Moran Company as a search firm and could not have had better results. Bill Moran and his team were responsive, highly professional, met our very aggressive time-line, and delivered highly qualified and fully vetted candidates for our search committee to consider. Most importantly, we have successfully hired an individual that has the right experience and know-how to meet our association’s needs.”

“Getting the right people on the bus is a key to nonprofit organizational success. Bill Moran provided the lead in our executive search that took a massive load off our team, and freed us to concentrate on our core business. He brought us the strongest candidates. From listening deeply to our needs and culture, to leading the search, sifting candidate profiles and doing the hard work, I had every confidence in Bill’s expertise. He’s a master at what he does.”
David G. Murphy, Chief Executive Officer
Arapahoe House, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
“Arapahoe House hired The Moran Company to fill a high level position . . . Moran did research to determine who the best candidates might be … and then pursued those individuals . . . As a result of this process, he connected us with an individual who fits our requirements perfectly. We feel we’ve made a very sound hire. I am delighted with the outcome and with the Moran Company!”
Barry W. Whitsell, Chief Executive Officer
Village Northwest Unlimited
Sheldon, Iowa
“As an nonprofit organization located in a rural community in Northwest Iowa we were apprehensive about the ability of The Moran Company to fill our Director of Advancement position. Bill however reassured us that he could find us a quality candidate and do so in a reasonable amount of time. Bill worked extremely hard and “left no stone unturned” to locate and screen candidates for our position. Bill had to do double duty on this search because he not only had to locate “the right person” for us but also someone willing to relocate. Bill found us that candidate and we are extremely pleased at the person we hired and the extra effort that Bill puts into his searches.”
Curtis Gray, Executive Director
Darrell Gwynn Foundation
Davie, Florida
“On behalf of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation I would like to thank Bill Moran and the Moran Company for their recent successful search to fill our Director of Development position. Mr. Moran began the search by getting to know our Foundation, our mission and our staff to the point that we really felt he was part of our Team. Mr. Moran has developed a unique process for filling non-profit positions, the key to which is a great sense of listening to his client. Through this process, Mr. Moran was able to fill our position with a person who we feel will be a very positive part of our organization in the future. We will definitely reach out to the Moran Company for future searches.”

Mr. Moran was diligent in determining exactly what our needs were, in placing strategic ads and postings, and in using his significant network to identify candidates. In less than one month, we were able to interview two qualified candidates and have in fact hire our new Clinic Manager. The Moran Company performed professionally and produced positive results.”
