I have engaged The Batten Group for professional recruitment searches both in my current role at the Huntington’s Disease Society of America and across other organizations throughout my career. What consistently stands out is their comprehensive knowledge of the disease-focused nonprofit space and the depth of their network. Whether we have needed front-line fundraisers or executive-level leadership, their reach within the philanthropic and healthcare sectors is exceptional.

They have always been receptive to feedback and dedicated to working alongside us to find the right fit. For any nonprofit seeking specialized talent in healthcare and philanthropy, The Batten Group is a highly capable and collaborative partner.

When our organization launched a search for a new Executive Director, we required a partner who could identify a visionary leader capable of maturing our operations, driving organizational growth, and deeply engaging with our stakeholders. The Batten Group did not just meet these expectations — they exceeded them in every capacity.

They executed an incredibly organized, professional, and rapid search process. Every candidate presented for interviews was exceptionally capable, and the diversity of experience and skill sets within the pool gave our board a rich selection of potential leaders.

Twelve months later, we can confidently say the impact our Executive Director is having will be nothing short of transformational for our organization and the community we serve. For any board seeking an executive search partner that delivers elite talent while respecting your time and mission, The Batten Group is the gold standard.

We’re thrilled to have our candidate on board and, honestly, if you hadn’t put us through the process I would have likely voted for a different candidate… That we had so many quality candidates is a credit to you, your company, and your industry knowledge. It was a pleasure to watch a master at his craft—and you’re absolutely a master.
