Diversity and Inclusion

We embrace inclusion in everything we do. It’s embedded in our DNA and we recognize that it is imperative to a successful executive search that we deliver a diverse slate of candidates and eliminate bias through candidate conversations.

In the discovery phase of our search project, we will uncover what diversity means to you as the employer, how talent acquisition is intentional and must reflect the communities served, and the role we play to make your DE&I objective become a reality.

Executive search commitment to diversity and inclusion is demonstrated from results; which is bringing all talents to the table and presenting a diverse candidate slate of leaders.

Our track record in the recruitment of executives speaks for itself. With over 25 years of subject matter expertise, we have established a solid reputation for success. We hit the ground running from day one of execution of your search engagement.  Our team members identify those important transferable skills and move our candidates successfully through the process of a transition.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Peggy Williams Smith

The blueprint that Spano Pratt used set us up for a successful search process, leading us to the most dynamic and transformational leader the organization had ever seen in it’s over 40-year existence. Rose spent time with our current leadership individually and together to ensure we were on the same page as to what we were looking for and then presented us with 5 extremely qualified candidates, based on that feedback. Throughout the process, Rose acted as our voice of reason and kept the search committee on track to ensure that we were respectful of the time we put in, as it is a volunteer board. Both Rose and Jamie have created an enormous network of qualified individuals that they tap into roles that come to them. I would recommend Spano Pratt for any search, profit or non-profit

David Polcari

“Spano Pratt far exceeded expectations in our search for the new Executive Director of the New England Water Works Association.  Rose and Jamie took the time to learn about our culture, interview our membership and staff, and guide our team through the entire process from setting goals, vetting and interviewing candidates, and on-boarding our new Executive.  We valued their communication, professional guidance, and thoughtfulness as we were tasked with replacing a retiring executive that had served for 30 years.”

She was a great addition to our event.

Benjamin C. Gonring

“Thank you, Rose, for all that you have done.  I cannot imagine how we would have tackled this task without you.  Please feel free to list me as a reference going forward.  I was tasked with checking your references before we hired you and can now unequivocally say that all of their praise was spot on.”

What Our Clients Are Saying

Jeanne Rufflo

Rose was guest speaker for a peer advisory group of manufacturing leaders that I facilitate. She spoke about the use of social media as a tool for corporate “branding” and for recruiting. She was excellent: Not only was she clearly knowledgeable in the area, she was also an engaging speaker who captured the interest of the audience. Several months later, I continue to hear about how interesting she was. Rose clearly is on the cutting edge and an expert in her field. An excellent resource.
