Nonprofit Executive Search Team

The People Behind 650+ Successful Placements

Finding the right executive for a nonprofit, higher education, or mission-driven organization takes more than a talent database. It takes people who understand your sector, your culture, and what’s actually at stake when a leadership transition goes wrong.

The Batten Group’s nonprofit executive search team has been doing exactly that for 16 years. With deep roots across nonprofit, healthcare, higher education, and mission-based organizations, we bring both talent acquisition expertise and organizational insight to every search — so the leaders we place don’t just look right on paper. They work.
