I am so thankful for the work that God has called and equipped you all to do. We prayed as a team for the Lord to lead us in this process, and without a doubt God lead us to you. The efforts and connections that God has blessed you with have blessed us. I love having a front row seat to see God do what only God can do! What blessing to the church and to so many organizations the team at Mission Leadership is!

Bringing top level talent into your organization can be challenging. What appears to be experience and competency on paper can result in a lack of cultural fit, meaning time wasted and trust lost with other leaders. We avoided this by working with connected leaders like Neal and Rich, who bring team members to your organization who are hungry, humble and smart. I deeply appreciate the way they took time to understand us culturally and relationally, which also informed our pathway forward in securing our open key leadership roles.

The most valuable part of partnering with Mission:Leadership was their sensitivity to our mission and attentiveness to our stakeholders' priorities. We knew the timing of the search could present a challenge, but Mission:Leadership's network is deep, and they delivered a broad range of qualified candidates within our criteria and our time constraints. You can trust their process and their heart for Christian leadership.

As an experienced CEO, I reached out to several executive search firms, and Mission:Leadership quickly distinguished itself. Their team was outstanding from start to finish. I was impressed by the thorough vetting process, combined with their professionalism, placement expertise, and ongoing advisory support.
What truly surprised me was discovering, upon joining Amazi Water as CEO, that my two fellow executives had also been placed through Mission:Leadership. This spoke volumes about the firm's consistency and quality, lending immediate credibility as I began building my team. Our organization is now led by three executives—all sourced through the same firm. That's remarkable.
I would welcome the opportunity to work with Mission:Leadership again, knowing their commitment to delivering results for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom.

Mission:Leadership built key relationships with staff, board members, and candidates, ensuring compatibility and providing our organization with the best opportunity for success.

Rich was truly a "God send" for us. After surveying and interviewing our Leadership Team and Board of Directors, he provided us with very wise and insightful counsel, while at the same time honoring our Board's wisdom and authority to make final decisions.

It’s great to work with a recruiter that really understands who we are and what we do. Neal and his team have definitely “been there, done that,” which served us very well. The depth of understanding they provided on each candidate was second to none, leading us to the hiring of a great new CEO.

Our work is challenging. Our work is meaningful. We face spiritual opposition in every form. I thank God for Rich and the significant way he and his team served Avail at a crucial time in our growth. We gained not one but two tremendous hires, and over the last two years they have grown so wonderfully in their roles and also in their leadership. The people he brought us have all the qualities of exceptional leaders, They continue to inhabit their roles upward and to the right! We have walked through some really intense storms, and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else. They have risen to every occasion with focus and the nimbleness that comes from humility." So grateful for the real weighty value they bring to Avail.

Rich has a unique ability to articulately describe the ideal candidate profile for an organization utilizing both keen observation and strong intuition. He then combines this within a finely tuned search process, wrapped with the right amount of communication back to the client, and delivers on what he promises. I highly recommend Rich and his team for your executive search needs.
