"You were a fabulous partner…I appreciated the professionalism, the grace with which you conducted the search and partnered with us."
Executive Director, Morrison Family Foundation
Board Member, Windward Fund
"The thing that stood out was the way you talked about diversity in your searches. The candidate pool was rich… we had over 900 applications and they were quality candidates. We had some really talented people come to the table."
Chief People & Culture Officer, Saga Education
"We are mindful of every dollar and wondered if we could afford to hire Maneva Group. But now that we’re done, we really couldn’t afford not to for our inaugural Executive Director. You posed key questions to our board and founders, forcing the right conversations. And we had a great selection of A-list candidates. You were invaluable."
Board of Directors, Boxing Out Negativity
"You put together amazing candidates. We met a lot of larger firms…but the size of your firm quickly became a bonus because we worked with the A-team. We got candidates within weeks and finished the process in two months. We found a candidate we love and are excited for the new CEO to get started."
Board Chair, Operation Underground Railroad
"I cannot recommend Sneha highly enough. I had worked with a range of search consultants, including much larger firms…I really prefer someone who has a smaller client roster and who can really give me personalized, devoted attention."
Sr. Managing Director, Arabella
