Why Vanderbloemen

“Change brings questions, and questions cause confusion. In such times, a fresh perspective is invaluable. Vanderbloemen has provided this counsel for thousands of churches – including ours.”

“The process that the Mariners elders and search team designed with the Vanderbloemen team gave us all an opportunity to get to know one another, to have focused conversations, and to prayerfully discern the Lord’s leading. The team from Vanderbloemen provided my wife, Kaye, and me a safe place to process and ask questions along this important journey.”

“So thankful for the steps Vanderbloemen had in place throughout the process.”

“The Vanderbloemen process was objective, took us out of our comfort zone, and opened us up to things we never would have found through our normal channels. I strongly recommend this process.”

“The one area we were pleasantly surprised with was Vanderbloemen helped us hire our next head of school and helped us look inwardly at ourselves to think through the way we operate to help going forward, and other areas of growth.”

“Vanderbloemen introduced us to candidates that we wouldn’t have come across. They helped us further what we were looking for in a headmaster. We also didn’t have to spend the extra time ourselves looking through all the resumes or sitting in meetings.”

“Vanderbloemen really listened. They worked hard to get to know us, and that opened up our relationship.”

“Vanderbloemen initiated a great process for our search and were a wealth of information, guiding our search team through the journey. Timely information and guidance were thoughtful and appreciated.”

“What I found most valuable was the Vanderbloemen consultant’s expertise and level of preparation.”

“Our consultant and the team at Vanderbloemen were outstanding to work with. Professional, capable, and responsive.”

“Great communication and followed through with speedy, great results. We honestly could not have been more satisfied and sincerely thank you!”

“We felt very good about the process. Vanderbloemen kept us informed of the process, met the timelines we were hoping for, and brought us a couple of candidates who matched our values. Ultimately, the process was able to find one candidate which we thought was an exceptional fit for our organization.”

“The Vanderbloemen process is what worked. Once we got into it and understood how they would conduct the search – and the fact that they asked us so many questions on the front end about the role and what the ideal candidate looked like and wouldn’t look like – we realized their process was priceless.”

“If you’re in a leadership position and teetering on the edge, thinking that you want to take action, but don’t know how: I would say that would be the ideal time to reach out to Vanderbloemen. That’s where we were and they did a fantastic job working with us”

“I don’t think Vanderbloemen could have served us better. After the second candidate left our interview, board members collectively realized we had a problem that we didn’t expect to have. Everyone was fully confident that both of the top two choices would be perfect and be successful. It was the best problem to have.”

“Our experience with VSG for the compensation analysis was super…The report helped us build a stronger justification and rationale for many of our current practices, provided good direction on some weaker areas that need more development and gave a couple of recommendations for development that we had never thought of.”

“When faced with an important leadership discernment process, we reached out to Vanderbloemen for help. They provide a candidate vetting service tailored for our needs, budget, and timeline. As a result, we achieved great clarity and confidence in our decision.”

“We’ve worked very hard on our staff culture over the years and Vanderbloemen’s Culture Tool has helped identify what we do well and what we need to keep working on. This is our fourth year using it!”
