Executive Searches for PUBLIC PURPOSE Agencies

New School recruiting is a departure from traditional public sector recruiters who are impersonal, predictable, limited to public sector candidates, task driven, focused on short term hiring goal instead of long term success and fit, invest little in relationship building and are done when the hire is on-boarded.

New School Is:

Thorough assessment of organizational needs.
Network-based recruitment PRIOR to opening position.
Thoughtful screenings to understand the candidates before YOU invest any time in the process.
Outstanding candidate experience so that regardless of outcome, the candidates will remember the experience and promote YOU to their network.
Support, connections and leads for outstanding candidates not selected by a given search.
On-boarding: six months of transition activities including professional coaching.
Guaranteed results.

TESTIMONIALS

I worked with Ana as an applicant for a Director role. Beyond the impressive customer service aspects such as being available, quick response, willingness to provide guidance and information on the organization and process I found Ana to truly engage with me and care about my outcome. Ana was honest, candid, and respectful as she provided feedback and provided perspective on larger issues at play for the role and the hiring organization. How Ana interacted with me created a great deal of trust in a short period of time. My experience with Ana is a standout and I continue to collaborate with Ana as a result.

I highly recommend Ana Cortez. Ana is not your run of the mill recruiter; she makes the applicant feel that they are the only applicant in the world! She really cares for the applicant and makes sure that you are comfortable throughout the process.

I was not successful in the recruitment, but Ana kept in touch and provided me with leads to other opportunities that she was not promoting. I received attention from Ana that I have never received from a pro-forma recruiter. I consider her not only a lifetime connection, but a friend.

Ana has been an incredible recruiter to work with. She helped me with a role for the City of Kirkland and what stood out throughout this journey is that Ana is the most communicative recruiter that is unmatched with any other I’ve worked with. Ana is super knowledgeable in the public sector space and ensures that you’re set up for success with the right mindset and need to know information. Ana offered to prep me with a mock interview and through our 2 hours of preparation, Ana provided concrete feedback and didn’t hold back her high standard, which I truly appreciated because it ended up being my most favorite and memorable panel interview yet. I’ve never stepped foot in the public sector but landing 3rd place for the City says a lot about Ana’s passion for her clients. I’m truly grateful for her confidence in me.

Thank you, Ana, for your guidance, your expertise, and your support along the way. I couldn’t recommend any recruiter more than Ana if you are looking for your next role! She will truly fight for you!
