Our Process

Our History

FaithSearch was founded in 2007 when our President, Ed Fry, felt called to start an executive search firm focusing exclusively on faith-based organizations. From 1990 to 2007, he worked at two of the largest search firms in the world and saw firsthand the incredible value that a structured search process could bring to an organization in finding its next leader.

Ed had a particular passion for faith-based clients and quickly realized the importance of mission-fit between clients and successful candidates. The commitment to understanding a faith-based mission needed to permeate every aspect of the search process. Beginning by thoroughly understanding it in start-up consultations and ensuring its prominence highlighted in all search documents and promotional outreach. From there, meticulously evaluating mission-fit with every potential candidate, all while upholding a spirit of prayer throughout the journey.

And thus, FaithSearch was created, so a search firm could make mission-fit a top priority while providing an elite search process to its clients.

Our Core Values

Seek God

We believe in seeking God in our lives, even in our work, trying to see His imprint in our work through prayer and reflection.

Serve Others

We believe in servant leadership, striving to serve our clients, our candidates and our co-workers.

Pursue Excellence

We believe we have a duty to our clients, each other, and God to strive for excellence, not contenting ourselves with mediocre performance.

Work Hard

We believe that hard work (and prayer) produce results.

Be Honest

We believe in honesty and integrity in the big and in the small, amongst our clients, our candidates, and our co-workers, even if that means admitting failures or limitations.

Be Kind

We believe that everyone is facing a battle we know nothing about, and that life is too short to work in a perpetually unkind environment.
