Background
Over the past weeks, state governments have established stricter laws that limit and jeopardize the reproductive health and rights of individuals and communities. At DRG, we are dedicated to supporting purpose-driven organizations committed to promoting systemic change. We know that this moment will present challenges that impact the present and future of reproductive freedom. In 2019, DRG launched its first pro bono Executive Search to support an organization in identifying and recruiting their next senior leader. This year we are extending our services to partner with organizations in the reproductive health, rights, and justice space.
For 36 years, DRG has collaborated with nonprofits to understand their culture and values and support a talent infrastructure that allows the organization to thrive. Our expertise includes both executive search and talent services, which involves customized recruitment strategy, organizational consulting, and overall ensuring team effectiveness. To further our impact, we are offering pro bono compensation benchmarking with our executive search services.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
DRG is committed to making a difference in the talent sector by maintaining a deep and intentional focus on equity in everything we do and how we do it. As part of our team, we have an internal DEI consultant who leads anti-oppression trainings on race, gender, LGBTQIA+, disability justice, and other topics to educate our team and inform our equity strategy. This work grounds us in the understanding that if we do not look inward, we have no right to look outward. We take what we learn and try to incorporate an equity lens in all of our services. We have an organizational psychologist to ensure that we design talent- assessments with thoughtful questions that help to remove cultural, gender, and other biases. We lead our clients through Interviewing with Reduced Bias training – challenging all interviewers to identify, call out, and avoid bias around decision making. Our customized research and outreach strategies identify candidates from commonly marginalized communities to ensure that we identify the best talent reflecting a diversity of race, ethnicities, religion, backgrounds, and experiences.
