the path to your ideal match
A clear and collaborative four-phase journey
overview of the process
Discovery
Because nothing is more foundational than getting the culture right, we come to listen and observe to understand your unique vision, context, and needs.
recruitment
We leverage targeted sourcing and interviewing to present a curated slate of candidates aligned with your church’s DNA.
selection
We guide and support your interview process, helping you evaluate candidates and discern your next hire.
onboarding
We partner closely with you to prepare your new leader for day one and provide structured guidance and support throughout their first 90 days.
fit finder framework
We methodically and meticulously work through each grid of the Fit Finder Framework to both understand your church’s unique personality, attributes, culture, and mission, and to evaluate and discern how a candidate matches in Character, Core, Chemistry, and Competency. It’s our DNA test.
the value of proximity
There’s no substitute for being side by side. Those in‑person moments build trust faster, spark richer conversations, and uncover nuances you simply can’t capture over a screen. By spending time together—walking halls, sharing meals, and sitting in your meetings—we gain a deeper, more authentic understanding of your culture, so every recommendation we make is rooted in the real, lived experience of your church.
taking the time
There’s real power in slowing down and doing things right: by taking the time to dig into every detail—asking thoughtful questions, vetting backgrounds thoroughly, and prayerfully reflecting on each insight—we ensure nothing is overlooked and every decision is made with confidence. This intentional pace lets us align values, clarify expectations, and uncover the perfect match, rather than settling for “good enough.” In the end, a thoughtful, deliberate process saves time and heartache by delivering leaders who will thrive long term.
