DeVine Consulting

“Margie has a keen eye for the leadership that will strengthen organizations and the opportunities that candidates seek. A gifted matchmaker, Margie provides guidance to both sides in her work. Particularly for organizations that value personal touch and attention, I strongly recommend Margie and the experience she brings to the table."

“Working with Devine Consulting was a tremendous opportunity. Working collaboratively throughout a search process to simultaneously fill two key leadership positions, Margie embedded herself in our operation, gaining an in-depth understanding of our strategies and day-to-day challenges and the personality of our Department. That resulted in her identifying a candidate pool that was uniquely qualified for our open positions. Ultimately, we hired staff members who would not have presented themselves to us in a traditional search. We would not have been able to find such a diverse pool of candidates on our own and the process would have taken much longer. Margie is a dedicated professional who is a pleasure to work with – I would highly recommend her for a wide range of Development consulting needs."

“Christopher House has long partnered with DeVine Consulting and I’ve personally worked with Margie in two searches. Margie is thoughtful, responsive and timely in all of her communications, and very knowledgeable and strategic in the field of fundraising. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her through the hiring process, so much so that we continue to stay in touch, and she serves as a thought partner with our work.”
