About Us

We built trust in our customer’s mind through adding value at every touchpoint of our engagement.

The DEJ Group was founded with a singular mission: to help organizations find transformative leaders who align with their values, vision, and purpose. What began as a solo executive search practice has grown into a trusted, values-driven firm specializing in recruiting diverse, mission-aligned talent for nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations across the country. Drawing from decades of combined experience in executive recruiting, HR consulting, and leadership development, our team brings a strategic, human-centered approach to every search.

 

Since our inception, we’ve completed dozens of successful leadership placements—from CEOs and executive directors to finance, HR, and program leadership roles—delivering candidates who don’t just meet the qualifications but deeply understand the communities and causes they serve. We are proud of our reputation for integrity, equity, and results. As we grow, our commitment remains the same: to help our clients hire the right leader, the right way—every time.
