What our clients say

"Callive assisted Jubilee Jobs in finding a new Executive Director to lead the organization after our founder stepped down. We were very pleased with Callive's diligence in locating candidates, vetting them, organizing our interview process, and helping the Board through the selection process. We very much enjoyed working with Olive and Mina and will be continuing our relationship with Callive to assist us in the transition, to expand our Board, and to help our organization's continuing success."

In 2021 - 2022, “Callive helped VCDC to assess its Board customs, traditions and procedures and helped align them with best practices for effective nonprofit corporate governance. Through their thorough approach, Callive got to know and understand our organization and our needs. Our Board has adopted many of their recommendations and has drastically improved our communications and levels of engagement.”
