Our Expertise

For public-serving organizations, effective leadership is a matter of safety, sustainability, and wellbeing. POLIHIRE builds leadership capacity through people and partnerships.

Executive Recruitment

With a focus on excellence, accountability, and diversity, our record of unparalleled success in identifying leadership for public-serving agencies and organizations sets us apart.

Leadership Development

We have the in-house capacity to administer and interpret leadership assessments to understand the dispositional profiles of candidates and offer ongoing coaching and leadership development to ensure long-term success.

Our Commitment to Equity

At POLIHIRE we believe that public-serving and mission-based organizations require leaders to be more than technical experts in their fields. They must also be champions of the idea that success is only achieved when their missions are delivered equitably, when their services are accessible to all who might benefit, when inclusion is a hallmark of their operations, and when their institutions reflect and celebrate the diversity of the communities they serve.

What Our Clients Have to Say

Finding eminently-qualified leaders who defy the stereotypes of industries not known for their diversity can be a tall order. PoliHire proves time and time again that a slate of candidates for executive positions can be both highly-qualified and diverse!

Kenyatta Uzzell and POLIHIRE have become a trusted partner that I’ve used in multiple communities ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 residents, successfully leading searches for Fire Chief, Police Chief, and Labor Commissioner. POLIHIRE came equipped with a deep understanding of the intricacies of identifying leadership for local government. I highly recommend them to any public agency or organization.
