Company Description
Criterion Search Group, Inc. is a boutique executive search firm dedicated to building strong leadership teams for mission-driven organizations nationwide. Established in 1997, the firm focuses on recruiting and selectively placing senior leaders for non-profit organizations, foundations, and public charities, bringing deep sector insight and a long-standing network within the philanthropic community. Criterion’s approach blends rigorous, research-driven sourcing with carefully curated outreach to highly qualified, often passive, candidates who can deliver immediate and lasting impact. The team emphasizes equity and access to diverse networks, incorporating robust reference extraction and multi-perspective assessment to present well-rounded candidate insights. Led by founder Beth Hare, who brings more than twenty-five years of search experience and a track record in courting diverse executive talent, Criterion stays closely engaged throughout the entire engagement—from needs analysis and role definition to candidate evaluation, selection, and onboarding support—ensuring alignment with board and stakeholder expectations. The firm’s operations are supported by professionals such as HR and legal advisor Edy Penn, Esq., and search operations specialist Marni Murphy, whose logistics management and attention to detail keep clients informed and searches running efficiently. Clients benefit from high-touch service, disciplined process, transparent communication, and national reach that is unbound by geography. While the firm’s core work centers on executive leadership across functional areas commonly found in the nonprofit sector, its methodology is adaptable to a variety of organizational structures and governance models. Criterion’s consistent involvement in the nonprofit ecosystem enables access to broad talent pools, nuanced referencing, and context-rich guidance that helps boards and hiring committees secure leaders who align with organizational mission, culture, and strategy, ultimately translating into measurable organizational outcomes.
