Vetted Solutions partners with associations, nonprofits, and other mission-driven organizations to help them recruit, retain, and cultivate key talent. Our practice is built on connecting clients with executives who build innovative cultures, drive exceptional value creation, and lead strategic growth.

We focus on finding a fit driven as much by our client’s culture and business model as it is by an executive’s experience and capabilities. We earn trust by understanding what success looks like for each organization and then applying creativity, experience, and a rigorous process to find exceptional leadership talent for your team.

Through offices in Washington, DC, Chicago, IL, and Los Angeles, CA, the firm offers a comprehensive range of executive search and leadership consulting services, including Vetted InterimTM, Authentic Onboarding®, and Association Management Company Search Services.

Our unique, tailored process includes:

  • Conducting extensive research to understand the culture, organizational goals, and other considerations that influence each client’s search priorities and focus
  • Drawing upon this research and our team members’ experiences as CEOs to help translate clients’ needs into clear, cohesive position profiles and search plans
  • Recruiting candidates with the skills and cultural aptitudes necessary to drive success in each client organization’s unique environment

Our portfolio includes ongoing and completed projects for growth-oriented trade associations, professional societies, and other mission-driven organizations in the medical, educational, cultural, and civic spheres. Our clients, some of the most respected names in these spaces, rely on us to assess their talent and leadership needs and then exceed expectations with candidates capable of making immediate contributions to exceptional organizational performance and providing lasting leadership that drives significant sustained results.
