We’re perfecting the science of finding the right consultant
Nonprofit Consultant
Match Lab™
Forget the inefficient, outdated nonprofit consultant search process
Let’s face it – the old way of hiring a nonprofit consultant is so far from ideal:
​​
-
You depend on other organizations’ referrals to consultants (who may or may not be a good fit for your nonprofit’s specific needs)
-
You cross your fingers that some of them have both the professional background and lived experiences that align with your project’s goals (which can take forever to research, on top of your regular work responsibilities)
-
Then you narrow down your options, interview them, and review their references (and finally, by the end of everything, you hope one of them feels like a great fit)
We’ve been there, and we know this ultra-time consuming process can also be ultra-stressful. That’s why Consultants for Good launched the Consultant Match Lab: Because connecting with the right consultant shouldn’t be rocket science.

Using Direct Match made the process of finding the right candidate for our work so much easier! I loved that the C4G team met with me to get an idea of what I was looking for, pre-interviewed the candidates, and called their references. We were working on a super tight timeline and Lauren and her team were able to jump right in!"
