It was an honor and a pleasure to work with a team as amazing as FaithSearch Partners! Even though the job opportunity came really fast (at least on my end--I was the last person Elaine and Ed interviewed, as well as the last person my now-boss interviewed for the position), I felt very confident that this was God's next and best move for me. Not only are Elaine and Ed amazingly skilled at digging into a person's professional qualifications, but they also lean into their spiritual discernment about candidates to present a solid list to the hiring manager. By the end of my conversations with them, I felt very seen, very known, and very valued--and not just because I got the job! 🙂

Karla DialEditor-in-Chief, The Stream

We were looking for someone that fits our organization in Wichita with faith, leadership skills, and potential. With FaithSearch Partners, we got more than an executive search company, we got a team. Having FaithSearch as an advocate and intermediary was invaluable. They utilized a clearly defined process, an effective insightful assessment, and thorough research. Their team was genuine and resourceful. These guys get it!

Kenneth FriedelBoard Member, Breakthrough Episcopal Social Services

Ed Fry and FaithSearch kept us on track and produced a great slate of candidates for our interviews. I was impressed by how quickly the FaithSearch team adjusted to meet our changing needs and want to express my sincere gratitude for a job very well done.

David JimenezBoard Member & Presidential Search Committee Chair Southern Adventist University

We reached out to FSP to help us hire a dynamic qualified financial professional to be our first full-time Chief Financial Officer. They understood our desire to hire someone who was also a values match for our faith-based organization. In the end, FSP found the perfect CFO candidate for us who was able to hit the ground running and fit right into our organization. I would highly recommend FaithSearch Partners!

Sister Susan FrancoisSisters of St. Joseph of Peace

FSP was great from start to finish. They connected me with a job and a school that I would not have otherwise found on my own. Bryan and his team identified me as a candidate and were there every step of the way from the first call to the signing of my new contract. FSP works not to fill jobs, but to match candidates to situations that are great for both sides. My family and I couldn't be happier with our new school and it would not have been possible without FSP.

Dr. Ryan BerensHigh School Principal, Cypress Christian School

I am grateful for Ed Fry and FaithSearch for seamlessly navigating us through the search process. Just four months ago when we first met, I had serious doubts about identifying a candidate in such a compressed timeframe. But with God’s blessings and an astute committee guided by the professional expertise of FaithSearch Partners, we now have the best candidate who has accepted the invitation!

Ruth Liu, EdDPresidential Search Committee Member & Former Faculty, Southern Adventist University

We continue to turn to FaithSearch for our executive recruiting needs based on results. FaithSearch has consistently delivered top level talent who fit our organizational culture. Without FaithSearch our organization would not be the same.

Dr. Jeffrey PottsExecutive Director, Cypress Christian School

The professionalism and precision that FaithSearch Partners performed in our search for a Chief Development Officer was a demonstration in excellence!

Brian SachsBoard Member, Frontier Horizon

Za’ndra and the FaithSearch Partners team were truly a joy to work with. They were all extremely professional and provided a robust and thorough recruitment and hiring process in a difficult international environment. We were very aligned in our values and I would strongly endorse FaithSearch Partners to anyone with key human resource needs.

Kory KaebVP Operations, Lifesong for Orphans

Partnering with Faith Search Partners — alongside Dr. Andrew Westmoreland and Dr. Jacqui Gustafson — was an outstanding experience. They combined deep insight, discernment, and a clear understanding of the unique challenges in leading a faith-based university. As chairman of the Lee University board, I valued how they blended professionalism with a genuine care for our mission and culture. Their guidance made a complex process feel clear and purposeful, and their work ultimately helped us find the right leader to guide Lee University into the future.

Wade LombardBoard Chair, Lee University

FaithSearch Partners is exactly what they claim. They partnered with us at Rochester Christian University to find our 11th president. The Board had not worked with a search firm before. A new, and what turned out to be an amazing experience. Communicating with us through the entire process, guiding step by step, making sure they knew what we needed. Campus interviews with over 40 of the Senior Leadership Team, faculty, staff and of course the entire Board of Trustees. The search began with over 1,000 prospects. The final choice, guided by much prayer, is exactly who we need. Prayerful, professional, always available, FaithSearch Partners will always be part of the fabric at Rochester Christian University.

Richard WatsonBoard Chair, Rochester Christian University

Jacqui Gustafson, Andy Westmoreland, and FaithSearch Partners earned our confidence and trust from the beginning with their responsiveness and overall professionalism. They kept the process moving forward in a timely manner, identifying an outstanding pool of candidates aligned with our criteria, and provided the guidance we needed to complete a successful search. We are thrilled with the outcome of this search, and it was truly a joy to work with FaithSearch Partners.

Dr. Barbara PettyBoard Chair, Northwest University

FaithSearch Partners guided Anderson University through our presidential search with valuable candidate insights and a clear understanding of our needs. Their consistent updates and expert advice helped us achieve a successful outcome.

Dr. Priscilla ArchangelBoard of Trustees, Anderson University

The team at FaithSearch Partners helped our committee through a challenging presidential search with clarity, discernment, and humility. As the chair of the committee, I was grateful to have their constant support and guidance throughout the process. It was a blessing to work with FaithSearch Partners.

Amory ScottBoard Member, Point University

I first met Brian while working with him as Search Committee Chair for our school and quickly developed a rapport with him. His sense of dedication to the Lord and his desire to see His kingdom furthered was evident. Through our recent search with FaithSearch Partners, Brian was intent on understanding not just the role that we needed to fill, but also the school's culture and critical needs. He explained the process that we would be following and provided regular updates - making it clear that he was always available to touch base or to chat about any concerns. He provided many insights from his years of experience that were helpful in the interview screening process. Through the efforts of him and his team, the Lord brought several good candidates to our attention (one whom we then hired). I would strongly recommend Brian Jensen and FaithSearch Partners.
