Our Expertise
We believe that staying actively engaged in our areas of focus is an important part of our brand and service. We frequently attend trade conferences and we commit time each day to researching the latest news and trends in our practice areas. Being well-informed and educated leverages our competitive advantage and elevates our strategic partnerships with our clients and professional candidates.
Our Engaged Model
Through our engaged model, our searches are led, start to finish by a senior member of our team who knows your business and stays accountable for the result. We take on a focused number of searches so each one gets disciplined execution and ends with the right hire, not just a fast one.
Impact Investment Platforms
Private equity funds, family offices, and impact-focused capital providers — CDFIs, loan funds, tax credit syndicators, and other community development lenders.
Housing & Commercial Real Estate
Housing — Affordable, Senior, Middle-Income, Workforce — is KM Partners’ flagship, built on tax credit and capital expertise. From there, we recruit across Commercial Real Estate and Project Delivery, from capital allocation to execution.
Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Transition
Extends housing-based tax credit expertise into renewable energy and infrastructure — recruiting leadership across tax credit-driven investment strategies, Renewable Energy (solar, wind), and Grid Infrastructure, where financing and execution intersect.
Service Offerings
Permanent Placement, Direct-Hire Executive Search
Our proven four-phase process takes you from defining the role to a successful hire. We start by understanding your needs and building a targeted search strategy. Then we take your opportunity to market, qualify top candidates, and present a prescreened short list. We guide you through interviews and finalist selection, and we manage every detail of the offer and close, staying engaged well after your new leader starts.
Interim Executive and Advisory Solutions
Whether you need a leader for three months or a year, we stay involved throughout the assignment.
- Cover an unexpected vacancy while a permanent search is underway
- Lead a major initiative, turnaround, restructuring, merger, or integration
- Bring specialized expertise to a project
- Evaluate a role, or a person in it, before making a permanent hire
Executive Interview Training
Great candidates get lost to inconsistent interviews — panels that default to gut feel, resumes screened on polish instead of signal, and processes too slow for scarce or global talent. This workshop gives your hiring authorities a repeatable, defensible process and toolkit they’ll use on every search from here forward, not just the one discussed in the room.
- Interviewing Best Practices & Structured Interviews
- How to Read Resumes
- Overall Interview Strategy & “Apples to Apples”
- Hiring for Niche Roles & the Global Talent Pool
Functional Focus Areas
We provide executive search, professional recruitment, and placement across our practice areas, along with interim leadership solutions when timing is tight. The depth of our network within each practice area lets us recruit across every function that drives these businesses — from the C-suite through the specialists who execute.
