“Any organization looking to enhance their work environment by attracting a more vibrant, skilled and non-traditional team will benefit from the services of The 360 Group.”
Doug Stamm, Former CEO, Meyer Memorial Trust“The 360 Group was the only team that I could rely on from soup to nuts. They were truly a support mechanism and strategic partner.
“The 360 Group thinks out of the box to help organizations that are in transition. They bring together complimentary skillsets, expertise and personalities to create a great team dynamic.
“They understand what the client really needs vs. what they think that they need. Through carefully honed instincts, they pay close attention to the seemingly insignificant little things that reveal themselves over time and are important in the process. You need to trust the process, each step reveals more.
“The 360 Group is genuinely committed to improving lives and improving communities.”
Nicole Taylor, CEO, Silicon Valley Community Foundation“The 360 Group consultants do not say necessarily what one wants to hear; rather, they say what one needs to hear - bringing candor and integrity to the process from the beginning and throughout. They have authenticity and character - what you see is what you get. They work well with the Board and different stakeholders; are sophisticated in their understanding of client needs; respect the goals and philosophy of the organization, but are not shy to advise and guide on change. The result is that the candidates they bring forward are a match for the organization. Their approach is highly personalized, efficient, and sensitive to the client’s need to be well-informed and confident in the process.”
Nancy Kraus, Board Member/Chair, Executive Director Search Committee, San Bruno Community Foundation“The 360 Group is a mission-driven organization that is dedicated to improving society through the leaders that they place. They find great talent through their networks in a wide range of communities that others perceive to be difficult to reach.
“What is different about The 360 Group is their upfront process and hands-on approach during a search. They pay close attention to organizational challenges, team dynamics, Board engagement and what will make a leader successful. This gives the newly hired candidate a tremendous jumpstart in becoming an effective leader and reaching their potential quickly.”
Michael Bush, CEO, Great Place to Work Institute (Search Committee Chair, East Bay Community Foundation)“The 360 Group casts a wide net and pushes the envelope to identify unusual or unexpected candidates. That really helps you to figure out what the organization needs. They look at each situation uniquely and place a lot of focus on chemistry and fit. They go above and beyond what is expected in order to conduct a very thorough search and find the best candidate. They are very flexible and open to feedback and can change gears as needed. They are deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. Vincent leads the team in bringing a management consulting skillset to each engagement which adds tremendous value.”
Vikki Spruill, Former President and CEO, Council on Foundations“The time and energy spent upfront was very useful. There was no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Through deep listening and flexibility, they worked hard to understand the culture and challenges of the organization. There were unexpected insights revealed throughout the process. The whole team was very responsive and personable throughout the search.”
Martha Bernstein, Former Board Chair, Connecticut Community Foundation“The 360 Group is deeply committed to the nonprofit sector. They help organizations in transition figure out what they truly need. They think creatively and are really good at finding diverse candidates that are unusual or unexpected and truly add value to an organization.”
