Crawford Connect

Crawford Connect works exclusively with nonprofit organizations seeking executive search and HR support, a focus that has anchored the firm since 1996. Its core offerings include executive search, interim management, board member recruitment, and flexible recruitment services, with an emphasis on a thorough, personalized search process rather than high-volume placement work.

The firm operates with a small, named team of search specialists rather than a large generalist bench. Heidi Stock serves as Managing Director of Executive Search & Marketing, while Bill Hozy directs Talent Management; a group of senior search consultants, including Janice Wooster, Liz Latimer, Ann Armstrong, Muneerah Shiraz, Helmut Hager, and Gillian Horbal, carries out search and advisory work. Deborah Legrove, BA, CFRE, led the firm as President & Owner from 2002 to 2017, reflecting a leadership history tied closely to the nonprofit sector the firm serves. That combination of long tenure and a dedicated nonprofit client base shapes how Crawford Connect approaches HR people services and board-level hiring.
