Organizational Design & Recruiting Services
CEA offers the full range of recruiting and organizational design services. With more than 25 years of experience serving clients across
the environmental field, CEA has the deep network and domain expertise needed to assess an organization's needs and recruit top-notch talent.
Our work is based on a "made to order" consulting model that builds upon a close partnership with our clients. We develop a thorough understanding
of the client's mission and personnel needs, then use our broad network and deep environmental expertise to identify first-rate talent. We recognize that
hiring an assistant can be as important as finding your next VP, so we recruit the full range of positions that an organization may need. In addition,
CEA specializes in helping new and growing organizations develop their hiring plan, compensation standards, and personnel management systems.

Why We Are Different:
Environmental Expertise:
Because of its roots in CEA's consulting work, the Organizational Design and Recruiting Services practice is positioned to
rapidly identify and cultivate potential employees. Our team has many years of experience in one or more environmental sectors. Through our consulting practice,
we serve our clients as they grapple with the issues and innovations that are transforming the field. We leverage an extensive network of thinkers and leaders
in the environmental movement-a network that we draw upon to help our clients find the right people at the right time.
Tailored Service:
We are committed to providing individually tailored recruiting services to our diverse set of clients, from small nonprofits and growing clean-tech enterprises, to
international foundations. Our consulting model provides our clients with a cost-effective and flexible way to select the services that matter most to them. Because
our duties can range from hiring a single assistant to fully staffing a new program or department, we offer a variety of payment structures to suit our clients' needs.
Our Approach:
To develop a comprehensive outreach strategy, the CEA team first meets with senior management and staff to understand the organization's history, culture, work, personnel
needs, and overall organizational structure. We then develop a client-specific plan for each search and produce a strong candidate pool by drawing on expertise from across
our consulting practice, targeted research, networking, and candidate outreach. From an exceptional pool of candidates, CEA identifies top talent, and conducts in-depth
telephone and in-person interviews. Cultural fit and personal commitment to our clients' core values are critical qualities in the assessment. Throughout the entire search
process, CEA communicates progress and feedback between our clients and prospective hires to ensure a smooth and timely placement.
