Lambert & Associates, Inc., is an executive search firm focused on serving the needs of the nonprofit sector. Founded in 1996 and headquartered outside Philadelphia, PA, we assist the leadership of client organizations in identifying, contacting, screening and hiring exceptional professionals in all specialties of nonprofit management, including fund raising, public communications, marketing and constituent relations. We serve clients throughout the United States. Each professional at Lambert & Associates has extensive experience in the nonprofit arena. This hands-on knowledge of the marketplace we serve is essential to the firm’s high quality service.

Lambert & Associates believes each organization comprises particular characteristics which distinguish it from all others. The backgrounds and interests of board members, the experiences of the CEO, the nature of the mission, the personalities of senior management and staff members, the needs of the constituents, and myriad other factors, all contribute to the characteristic culture of the enterprise. Given that conviction, the firm strives to understand the context in which these traits flourish. This acquired understanding of each client organization is critical to the task of identifying prospective candidates who will be productive, successful and satisfied within a specific organization’s culture.

We believe people are the key to the success of any undertaking. People—both those employed by the client and the prospective candidates—are treated with professionalism, understanding and caring. If the search process doesn’t serve the needs of everyone involved, it has little value or quality. Value and quality are the hallmarks of every Lambert & Associates search.

We believe it is easier to retain clients than to find new ones. That belief causes us to focus our energies on satisfying the needs of those whose interests we serve. A gratifying percentage of our searches are from clients we have assisted in the past.

We believe the most successful nonprofit organizations we encounter comprise individuals who represent and manifest the best parts of the diversity that characterizes America. Lambert & Associates is committed to working with enterprises which have well articulated, implemented, inclusive affirmative action policies.

Lambert & Associates, Inc., is with you all the way through the search process. In fact, in some ways, we’re already at work in your interests. The firm has built and continues to maintain contacts with thousands of increasingly experienced professionals in the nonprofit world. We rely on this core network to lead us to talented individuals throughout the U.S. who might have the success record, the integrity and the interest to be a part of a small, carefully screened candidate pool for your position.

The professionals at Lambert & Associates stand ready to assist you with every detail, including conceiving and articulating your needs, drafting job descriptions, implementing pre-interview screening, informally contacting colleagues who have known and worked with prospective candidates, formally checking references, etc.

In short, Lambert & Associates, Inc., will be with you at every step to assist in making the best decisions.
