At Criterion Search, the heart of our work is rooted in the belief that we are in the business of transforming organizations. Understanding your organizational context and finding the right fit is not just about process; it is an art form. We seek to understand what equity means in your organization and allow that to inform the process for the best possible outcome. We seek to understand the future state of your organization and work to find the intangibles that will result in finding a star, not just a “good fit.” Most importantly, we believe that every organization deserves the expertise and attention of our President and Founder, Beth Hare. It is her talent and accumulated knowledge that enables every search to be highly tailored to the needs and desires of your organization.
“In a perfect world, everyone would operate from a level playing field and people who are talented would get the right opportunities. In our work, I make sure that we welcome people from all walks of life and create innovative opportunities for organizations looking to embrace and reflect diversity, equity, and inclusion in their senior level staff.” – Beth Hare, President and Founder

Criterion’s commitment is to deliver a slate of candidates made up of a diverse group of highly qualified individuals who bring the experiences and strengths necessary for success. We believe the key to creating a diverse slate of candidates lies in the employment of a multi-pronged recruitment strategy which provides access to diverse candidate pools.
This is a sample of the candidate sources we utilize to build a diverse pool of candidates:
