Centering relationships and equity in
search for over a decade.
At Axis Talent Partners, we are proud to offer a range of hiring and training solutions, to meet the needs of mission-driven organizations. For over a decade, we have been a trusted, relationship-centered partner to values-aligned organizations. Bringing direct experience in nonprofits ourselves, and deep expertise supporting organizations across the social impact landscape, we are confident we can support your organization’s specific hiring needs.
At the heart of our work, and our long track record of success, is a commitment to equitable hiring practices. What does that mean? It can sound like jargon, so we make it simple: we ensure that you have the tools and process you need to evaluate all candidates in the same way, with clear, agreed-upon criteria that we co-create together, and that every constituent in the process – the candidate, the staff who are invested and the search committee – is treated fairly. Essential in this work is consistency, transparency, and care for every individual as a full human, holding space for understanding context and stories, as well as concerns and questions.
