Trust & honesty are characteristics I admire in the M&B team.
The team at M&B are a group of really smart, savvy people who have in-depth, broad understanding of the nonprofit environment. They are not sales people - they are organizational analysts and spend the time to get the person with the right fit based on skill set and organizational needs.
Morris & Berger does NOT take a cookie cutter approach to recruitment. They are personal, professional, and focused on the organization’s needs. They spend time getting to know the organization and tailor each search to the specific needs of that organization.
