Reneris has proven themselves in terms of the organization, the way you presented candidates, and the overall partnership. I really liked that we got on calls together with all the key players and then had thoughtful follow-ups as things progressed. The Zoom touchpoints made a difference, and the communication throughout the process was strong. The candidate presentations were very good. I found myself going back to them to refresh my memory, and the reference reports were really great, especially the way you synthesized feedback while keeping it collaborative and constructive. I would definitely recommend you if we need another high-level hire.

Reneris was an exceptional partner in leading the COO and CFO searches for Seattle Social Housing Developer. During a particularly turbulent period for our agency, they demonstrated strong judgment and steady crisis management. The team was highly responsive and communicative, which proved invaluable. Their agility, strategic approach, and ability to adapt quickly were especially evident during the COO search. They did an excellent job positioning the mission and opportunity of social housing in a compelling way that resonated with candidates and sustained strong interest throughout the searches. Dominique’s deep network, persistence, and relationship-driven approach were instrumental in attracting and securing high-caliber candidates for both leadership roles.

As a smaller, informal organization, this was our first executive hire, and the guidance we received throughout the process was invaluable. Reneris helped us understand best practices, while also being flexible as we refined our expectations along the way. The most impactful aspect of the partnership was their facilitation. Executive searches can be long and complex, but they ensured a smooth experience by keeping candidates engaged, checking in regularly, and preparing both them and us for each stage of the process. Their ability to maintain momentum and keep all parties aligned was instrumental in helping us find the right fit. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Reneris’ services.

The expertise demonstrated throughout our CEO search was truly invaluable. (Reneris) guided us seamlessly through the process, helping us focus on the key attributes that mattered most for our organization. Reneris’ structured approach, from a comprehensive candidate overview to a detailed assessment of the talent pool, made a compelling case for selecting the right next CEO.

Reneris’ willingness to adapt and move quickly to ensure that our aggressive timeline was met without compromising quality made all the difference in this process. I deeply appreciated their commitment to efficiency, transparency, and excellence.

Dominique was a joy to work with! She was patient with us as we went through the joys and challenges of searching for a new CEO. She made our job so much easier by searching for the right people, getting responses to our questions, and being present during our interviews. She listened as we raised questions and discerned together. I highly recommend Dominique and Reneris.

I have engaged with Reneris for over 5 years now for critical and non-critical searches within our organization. It has been a pleasure working with the team. Over the years I have observed how Reneris has gained solid understanding of the nonprofit real estate development and operations sector and has applied this knowledge to the search for new candidates. The ability to understand MidPen, our culture, our guiding principles, and our values has been critical in each search to find the right candidates for us who not only share these same principles, but also are additive to our culture and the team.

I have worked with many search firms throughout my career and have appreciated the communication practices that are in place at Reneris. You take the time with each search to have a thorough understanding of our needs, you provide us with insights about candidates you are speaking with to make sure we are both aligned, and you have kept each of our hiring managers informed about the process and progress you are making. Because of all this, I have and will continue to refer Reneris as a great partner when there is a need to engage with a search firm.

Housing California began a search for a new executive director in early 2022. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors conducted a thorough search and review of multiple firms to identify the right one that would be best suited to assist with our organization’s needs. The Committee unanimously chose Reneris over the other firms interviewed.

Right from the start, Dominique was extremely easy to work with. She spent a lot of time understanding not just who Housing California was searching for, but more so, the mission, values, and needs of the organization in the sector – and how all of those intersected with the skills and experiences needed, both in the immediate, but also for the growth of the next leader and the future of the organization. Given the unique role(s) and constituencies that Housing California represents, this understanding is exceedingly more complex than it is for most organizations. Regardless of this complexity, Dominique was dedicated to spending time with the committee, but also with a larger number of interested external partners in order to truly understand the type of candidate that would be successful for the organization.

Dominique knows the industry well and really spends the time with the client to understand the position and qualities of the firm that set us apart for potential candidates. She also plays a bit of a career coach role with candidates – highlighting how certain roles will help them achieve their career goals. Reneris and Dominique have specialized in our unique industry so she is able to lean into a wealth of contacts to widen the search and find great candidates. I particularly liked the follow-up after interviews and we have a more elaborate hiring process that requires the candidates to complete an exercise, which in certain hiring climates can be a bigger ask. Dominique was able to get candidates to buy into this process and fully engage with our process which helps us get to know the candidate’s technical and presentation skills – a must for us! Tailored efforts, industry knowledge, and results!

Reneris’ commitment to regular check-ins throughout the process was highly appreciated, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way.

I thoroughly enjoyed the candidate presentations, especially the verbal component, as it was engaging and informative. The written candidate profiles consistently aligned with my needs and expectations, making it easier to gauge each candidate's suitability. They were instrumental in my decision-making process, allowing effective comparison of candidates and guiding whom to interview. They also proved invaluable during the interview process, providing a solid foundation for productive discussions.

I really appreciated how intentional and thoughtful Reneris’s approach was throughout the process. From the beginning, I felt like they genuinely understood the type of role I was looking for and what mattered most to me, not just on paper, but in terms of growth, impact, and long term fit.

One thing that stood out compared to other recruiters I have worked with was the consistency in communication and the clarity around expectations. I always felt prepared going into conversations and that level of support made a big difference. Overall, I felt heard, supported, and well represented throughout. I’m grateful for the partnership.

Working with (Reneris) was an outstanding experience. From the beginning, Nick demonstrated exceptional follow-through, thoughtful preparation, and a genuinely nurturing approach. We maintained an open and honest dialogue throughout the entire process. Nick was transparent about the client’s expectations and challenges, ensuring I felt informed and comfortable at every step. Just as importantly, he created space for me to express my own priorities and values.

Thanks to Nick’s guidance, I was matched with the right leader and the right organization—one that truly aligns with my personality and professional goals.”

Working with Dominique (Reneris) was a truly positive experience marked by authenticity, professionalism, and a well-balanced approach. From the outset, I felt a strong sense of trust—conversations were candid, grounded, and free of unnecessary polish, which made it clear I was being supported by someone both competent and genuinely invested in my success. The balance between advocating for the client and truly understanding the candidate’s goals was refreshing and rare. The preparation throughout the process was thorough and insightful, offering a clear picture of the opportunity. Most importantly, the process felt facilitative rather than transactional—focused on enabling a meaningful, mutual fit rather than simply filling a role.

Nick established a close rapport with me right away and provided the support I needed to successfully get the job. He did not treat me as one more applicant. He always kept me informed on the steps and status of the process. His leadership helped get the career opportunity.

Even though Reneris was hired by the employer, I felt like they also had my interest in mind. The even-handed/fairness of the process was good. I came to trust Dominique´s opinion and saw that she wanted to make a good match. This was definitely the right place for me, I can’t imagine a better fit.

Reneris was very supportive and helpful throughout the process. I think they were able to support me with my goals. I would recommend Reneris to other professionals seeking new opportunities because they are professional and responsive to candidates.

I had a great experience working with Dominique. She was communicative, thoughtful, and supportive every step of the way. She provided relevant insight and took the time to understand the aspects that were most important to me. She advocated on my behalf and offered candid feedback. Even onboarding she checked in on me and ensured all was well.

My overall experience was amazing. I appreciated the personal touch. I felt like Reneris knew me personally. The before-interview prep helps get the nervousness out. I believe if it wasn’t for Reneris I wouldn’t have even known about the job. They give their all in helping find an exceptional opportunity.

Reneris were true partners and put me at ease throughout the process and made sure I had relevant information throughout. As recruiters, they carry their work with integrity, and professionalism and are supportive throughout. Dominique spent time getting to know me to understand my priorities and values and ensure alignment. I am grateful to Reneris and am glad they occupy the recruitment space in our affordable housing world.

I was recruited by Dominique and her team for a nonprofit leadership role in Cleveland. Dominique was a dream to work with. She is honest, transparent, and communicative throughout the whole process. She made what can be a stressful experience much more easeful and is truly committed to fostering a mutually good fit.
