Why do organizations choose to
work with us?
We've Been There
Only someone who has been in your shoes can know the stress and requirements of running complex organizations. Because we have done exactly that throughout our long and successful careers, our clients come to rely on us for more than filling an open position. We share sage advice on topics ranging from leadership to strategy.
We Have the Connections
The talent pool of visionary, committed, skilled leaders is shrinking. Fortunately, we only work in sectors where we ourselves have been executives — human services, behavioral health, social services, substance abuse & recovery, conservation, and associations — because with decades of top-level experience in these fields, we know the established and emerging leaders.
Our Process Is Thorough
After understanding your needs and performing a highly-personalized outreach, we carefully screen candidates. Our approach is face-to-face, methodological and rigorous. We bring to this process the unique experience of having been in the positions we are hiring for. This instinctive, experiential element is invaluable. Nobody gets to you if they aren’t able to do the job and do it well.
For us, it’s about the satisfaction of getting it right for people we care about.
Our clients are passionate, mission-driven leaders who make a difference. They don’t have time or money to waste finding the right person to join their leadership teams. They want outstanding candidates, quickly. Because of this, they recognize the value in our decades of experience, methodical approaches and significant relationships.
Diana Ramsay founded the Ramsay Group in 2018 with Anne Walton. Diana had been the past President of a Sanford Rose Associates subsidiary, an executive search firm. Her experience on both sides of the executive search process instilled a desire to go above and beyond standard practices and make a long-lasting positive impact through quality leadership.
Our mission is to help leaders and organizations change the world with the right people and the right preparation. Using our own networks, industry expertise and rigorous process, we are better able to serve clients who are looking for that key missing piece. Finding and preparing the right leaders will help you fulfill your missions and make the world a better place.
Work with us, and you will know that Diana Ramsay, Anne Walton and the entire Ramsay team will be relentlessly dedicated to your success.
“I have never experienced such a high-quality, laser-targeted approach as that which the Ramsay Group brought to our executive search effort.”
