Funny enough, I am both a (now recent) Client Church AND Candidate that you helped place and I can say from my time working with Shepherd Staff, it has been a HUGE blessing! The whole staff team came alongside me and tirelessly worked to search and ultimately place a quality candidate for the position we needed. Exceptional work and I plan to continue to use Shepherd Staff for similar searches in the future!
We knew that we were making a wise investment in partnering with Shepherd Staff, but what we gained was decades of expertise, caring relationships, expert insight into ministry, coaching, and plenty of grace in areas that we didn’t even identify as potential roadblocks to the position we had open.
The screening process, written communication and clarity that our committee and staff had about candidates before they were brought forward for the first round of interviews was beyond excellent.
In just 4 short months from exploratory visit to a hired candidate, our church staff and hiring committee gained a new level of expertise from a caring, kind, and Jesus-led team at Shepherd Staff.
“Start to finish, I thought it was very thorough with good analysis up front, consistent communication, and a team approach. It was a very effective and easy experience.”
“We appreciated how well Shepherd’s Staff got to know us in order to find the perfect candidates for our senior pastor position.”
It has been difficult to find candidates over the last several years, let alone candidates that fit our unique constraints as a rural, multi-site church.
Fortunately, our search consultants were not only inquisitive when it came to learning the nuances of our culture, they were diligent when it came to finding us great prospects.
Each week in our live updates, they brought us compelling data and practical insights. We learned about the market, the candidate pool and how our search was progressing.
Shepherd Staff helped us upgrade our marketing materials, tap new pools of talent and, ultimately, find the right candidate.
We will continue to partner with the Shepherd Staff team!
From the very first exploratory call with our consultant, we have been impressed.
The team at Shepherd Staff is the most thorough group we have ever worked with. They go out of their way to not only clearly define the role we were hiring for, but to learn about the church and the needs of the congregation. Several calls, a multi-day visit, and consistent weekly check-in appointments during the search.
“Expectations, boundaries, and cost were all clear from the very beginning. No surprises, just dedicated support.
We can’t thank you enough for truly shepherding us through the process!”
I love the care that is put into every search. I love that they are up front about the whole process and what to expect. It has been truly a great experience for me and my wife.
My experience with Shepherd Staff has been thoroughly professional, thoughtful, and well-executed. My consultant facilitated the process with clarity, candor, and care—balancing strategic insight with a pastoral posture that made space for honest dialogue. They demonstrated strong discernment and communicated very well, ensuring I felt informed and supported throughout. Both my wife and I left the conversation with deep appreciation for the integrity and intentionality Shepherd Staff brings to their work.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your team for the awesome job you did in bringing Pastor John to Five Stones Church! We love him! He’s such a great fit!
Shepherd Staff consultants brought passion, experience, a a clear focus on a candidate that fit our position. They helped us navigate through the process with love and care. They provided guidance that enabled us to land on our ideal candidate.
I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Shepherd Staff again.
