We’re not for everyone, and that’s okay.

Some people say we are expensive, demand a lot from our clients, and go deep to go fast. We are. We do. It’s true. Because our method works. Because our matches stay. Because our clients tell us our work is transformative.

“[At the end of our engagement], we ended up hiring 3 partners. All three of them, immediately from day one, were culture fits, and that is probably the most difficult thing at Bridgespan because the large majority of our partners are internal promotes. The fact that we had three people join, and from day one, it felt like they'd been here for years, was a testament to how incredible the search process was. [And one year later,] they're driving client development efforts. They're involved in efforts to strengthen the firm and strengthen our organization. They're people leaders. They are phenomenal partners, and they have also made our partner team better.”

“I've talked to many potential Offor clients, and I have a consistent refrain, which is, if you care about equity, hands down, Offor is the place to go. It will be a different process than anything you've ever experienced in an executive search because it's designed to be different by centering equity in the process. As a result, you're going to have to do more work, but if you're willing to do that work, you're going to get a better candidate, and you're going to feel better about the process because it's going to feel like a process with high integrity at every stage, and you know you'll have a person who will stay.”

“Offor is hands down the best professional service experience I've had. It was completely different to me in so many ways. One was the thoughtful layout of the process and how each piece fit together… Offor can help your organization be stronger on the other side. It is this incredible stew of genius we've been fortunate to have connected with. The Offor experience is just so much different than the average search firm in terms of you get all of that times 10. We learned so much that we wanted to keep working with Offor to incorporate those practices into our work. It's just so unique."

Henry Wilde, Co-Founder & CEO, Acelero
“First, when you’re weighing whether or not to work with Offor, don’t overthink it and act. Offor has the network to be able to raise talent pools that you would never touch otherwise. As a result of working with Offor, we found somebody who fit, was ready for our team, and met all of the criteria that we have and expectations to grow our operations and capabilities as a team. Second, the imprint of what we learned through the process of Offor immediately changed how we did all of our hiring. Not only did we find great talent, but working with Offor actually changed the hiring culture as a result of our partnership.”

Jesús Gerena, CEO, UpTogether
“You've revolutionized how we think about talent in general. Those practices have just been baked as part of Beyond 12. Second, the success that we've had with candidates has been amazing. We have candidates who are able to come and work with us like our CPO who has now been with us for 5 years later. And other roles too, like our Director of Finance and Operations, who is thriving. For us, the results are both in terms of the way that you've helped us rethink our practices, but also that the folks that we have hired through a search with Offor have had longevity.”

Alexandra Bernadotte, Founder & CEO, Beyond 12
“Now that I've been through your process on both ends, as both a candidate and [part of a client committee], I appreciate the clarity and transparency across all parties. It was explicit. You told candidates, ‘Here's what you're being held accountable to. Here's what we are assessing against.’ Similarly, as a client in the decision-making seat, you told us, ‘Here's how you should be assessing this candidate. What you said is interesting, and how does it relate back to this context and to what we said matters most?’ I haven't seen that level of clarity and, frankly, discipline when I’ve engaged with other firms. I appreciate most about the Offor process that I knew what I was getting into and every step of the process.”
