Where We Work. Who We Place.

Center Stage Search operates two equally focused practices — Legal Search and Nonprofit & Mission-Driven Search. Deep domain knowledge in both means faster, more precise placements and candidates who are genuinely aligned with your organization.

Every engagement reflects years of cultivated relationships with passive, high-caliber professionals — not just a database search.

Legal Search

Legal Talent That Makes an Impact

Center Stage Search partners with law firms nationwide to identify exceptional attorneys and legal professionals. We work directly with firm owners, managing partners and senior leadership to understand not only the experience required, but the practice, culture and long-term objectives behind each search.

Our approach is highly targeted and research-driven. Rather than simply matching résumés to job descriptions, we identify professionals whose experience, capabilities and career objectives align with the opportunity and the firm.

Nonprofit & Mission-Driven Search

Talent That Advances the Mission

Center Stage Search partners with nonprofit and mission-driven organizations to identify exceptional executives, senior leaders and fundraising professionals who combine professional expertise with a genuine commitment to the organization's mission.

We understand that nonprofit recruiting requires more than matching experience to a job description. The right individual must understand the unique relationships among boards, founders, donors, staff, volunteers and the communities an organization serves — while bringing the leadership, operational expertise and fundraising capabilities necessary to move the organization forward.

"We don't just know the job description. We know the culture, the team dynamics, and what it takes to succeed in that specific seat."

Tom Citera — President, Center Stage Search LLC
