– Sarah Hodgdon, Partner, The Management Center
TRUST & COMMUNICATION
“NRG spoke our language. Naomi and her team quickly gained the trust of our staff and our board. The communication was seamless, and they were always reachable and responsive. By providing expertise and recommendations, Naomi helped us make timely decisions on who to hire from a place of understanding our priorities, so we placed the right candidate, quickly.”
– Andrea Dehlendorf, Founder & Executive Director of United for Respect

– Stefanie Fox, Executive Director of Jewish Voices for Peace
STRATEGIC
“Your services brought the cohesive, coordinated, strategic approach to this work that we were missing. You took the time to get to know the organization, the programming, and the leaders who are charged with making hiring decisions, as well as the future colleagues and peers of prospective candidates. We knew you were great when we saw how you got to know us, and then moved.”
– Tory Gavito, President of Way to Win
CUSTOMIZED
“NRG provided excellent, customized service for exactly what we needed and never charged us for anything that we didn’t. They are incredibly productive, so we knew the investment was more than worth it!”
