What will I do every day?
Executive Search Engagements
Our Associate Talent Consultants play an integral role in advancing simultaneous search engagements to reach successful completion. Together with your project team, you will support a portfolio of searches. Your primary responsibility will be to identify and screen candidates but you may also be asked to research and identify potential candidates for a position, interview candidates to assess their qualifications for the position, create and present client deliverables, or strategize with the project team on the overall search approach, strategy, and next steps. In this role, it will be important to build relationships with clients, candidates, and other stakeholders who you encounter throughout a search. Our Associate Talent Consultants work closely with all members of a team to develop search strategies, generate client deliverables, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our processes and practice.
Business Development
We encourage our Associate Talent Consultants to develop business relationships by spending structured and directed time meeting and engaging with leaders in the nonprofit community and maintaining those relationships with effective communication and follow up. Associate Talent Consultants will also play a key role in our continuous mapping of talent needs in the nonprofit sector. We know everyone brings their own special flair to this—we will help you build your skills, focus your strategy, and develop your voice!
Teamwork
At DRG you will find team members across all levels pitching in to get the job done. While much of your time as an Associate Talent Consultant will be focused on Executive Search, you may be brought in to support our organizational consulting client engagements as well as other company-wide projects, learning, professional development, and other experiences designed to strengthen our company. We provide our team members with opportunities to develop themselves, their work, and their investment in our collective mission.
