She possess expertise in recruiting, nonprofits, fundraising, executive search, interviews and 25 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I first met Kara about 10 years ago when she called me about a search she was conducting. Having talked to several recruiters by that point, I expected the usual "tell me more about your experience and where you want to go next" line of questioning. Kara certainly covered those issues but what really struck me was how she went beyond the facts. We talked at length about how I work, what motivates me, what makes me thrive, what makes me cringe -- really getting into how I work, not just what I do. While that particular search wasn't right for me, we kept in touch over the years, checking in with each other periodically (she led the search for my current position at PAI). I was so impressed with her approach and ability to get at the "soft" skills of the candidates that I recommended potential clients and candidates to her over the years. Kara has that rare ability to see the whole person -- on both sides of the table -- and zero in on the right combination of skills and temperament that is needed to make a search successful -- and sustainable.", "Kara is not only the most professional recruiter I have ever worked with, but she actually makes the process pleasant. She is a real asset to her clients because she engages the prospective candidates in a collaborative process. Everything is transparent and no one's time gets wasted. I have been recruited for numerous positions over my 30 year career and have never worked with someone as thorough, professional, and pleasant as Kara. In fact, she placed me in my current position. Coincidentally, I run into people in my professional life all the time that know Kara and think highly of her. She has a tremendous network. I cannot recommend her highly enough.", and "Kara is a consummate professional, and thinks through all the details on executive searches for nonprofit organizations. She knows the field, she does her homework, she ensures that candidates she brings to the table are prepared, and she helps the organizations looking for new leaders know what they need and to be prepared for the process. I know, I've worked with her as a successful candidate, and then hired her to conduct searches for the organization I lead."
