AllThrive 365’s Future
Nonprofit Recruitment Case Study
A Blueprint for Compassionate Leadership
AllThrive 365 (formerly Foundation for Senior Living) was founded to improve the quality of life for adults and their caregivers. Over time, it has evolved into an integrated care system enabling adults to age in place. With a mission centered on caring for society’s most vulnerable, finding a nonprofit executive recruiting partner with commensurate expertise was essential.
Duffy Group first partnered with AllThrive 365’s Board Chair to find a replacement for the retiring CEO. This led to the hiring of then CEO Tom Egan, who, as a candidate, became aware of Duffy Group’s unique recruitment research model.
The Recruitment Challenge
The time had come to find a new Chief Financial Officer. Recognizing the advantages of partnering with a nonprofit executive recruitment firm, the AllThrive 365 Board undertook a search firm selection process. They asked Tom Egan to interview three search firms, and Duffy Group was chosen for its successful history with faith-based nonprofits.
The board was drawn to Duffy Group’s customizable approach, appreciating how they functioned as an extension of their search committee. Duffy Group focused on aspects where they needed the most help, such as finding a high-caliber candidate with the right skills and passion for the mission.
The Strategy
Following a detailed intake session, Duffy Group focused its search on nonprofit organizations of similar size within the region, particularly in the behavioral health and real estate sectors. They identified finance professionals with strong forecasting experience. The CEO’s excellent reputation in the community, earned through his work with this award-winning organization, was a significant asset. Leveraging that reputation, the Duffy Group practice leader worked collaboratively with an experienced Duffy Group finance executive recruiter to build a strong candidate slate well-matched to the organization’s needs.
The Duffy Difference
Within eight business days, Duffy Group presented its initial candidates for the Chief Financial Officer position at AllThrive 365. A total of six candidates were submitted, with five advancing to the interview stage. After thirty-five days, an excellent candidate was hired.
In Their Own Words
“The Duffy Group presented us with numerous qualified candidates at a time of historically low unemployment. The communication was exceptional, and their knowledge and guidance through the process was wonderful as well. We found an amazing candidate and had amazing secondary candidates, and they did this at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting firms.”
