Hear from our Clients
“The Stronger Consulting team engaged in a very difficult search for our school. Stronger Consulting took time to deeply understand our needs and key skills we were looking for in a director-level candidate. Though it was a difficult search, they tried multiple pathways to find us the talent we needed. They stayed in constant contact with us, while listening and acting on feedback.“
“Stronger provided robust advising to me (as the hiring manager) about how to leverage my role (internally and externally) to build the right candidate pool.”
“Stronger Consulting provided excellent counsel and rolled up your sleeves to get things done. Some consultants like to talk, not do…”
“Stronger Consulting pivoted in a moment to serve our capacity needs regarding hiring new directors. They worked to get a strong team member on their team to recruit and support our hiring process resulting in two fantastic hires!”
“KIPP St. Louis highly recommends Stronger Consulting as a search firm due to their exceptional process and partnership. Despite the significant challenge of finding a turnaround HS principal candidate during the school year, Stronger Consulting demonstrated remarkable adaptability. As a result, I would highly recommend Stronger Consulting as a top choice search firm”
“Stronger Consulting delivered exceptional results by sourcing high-quality candidates during a critical hiring period, which was pivotal given the time of the hiring season. The thorough vetting, efficient interview process, and ongoing feedback allowed us to make swift decisions resulting in every candidate accepting offers”
"When Mike started Stronger Consulting, I began following his insightful newsletter. When we needed help hiring a deputy director, I reached out to him. I was truly impressed by Stronger Consulting's strategic approach to recruiting a diverse pool of high-quality candidates. The process was seamless and efficient, yielding a strong pool of candidates within the ambitious time frame we'd established. In fact, we had three finalists who were all highly qualified, and the deputy director we ultimately hired has since become the executive director. What stood out most was Stronger Consulting's deep understanding of the K-12 education landscape. We didn’t have to spend time educating them about our needs; they grasped the dynamics of state agencies and the charter space right away. Their candidate assessments were trustworthy. I wholeheartedly recommend Stronger Consulting for any organization looking to strengthen their leadership”
