Waldron is proud to announce its certification as a B Corporation, making it the first executive search and talent management consulting firm headquartered in Seattle to achieve B Corp status. B Corporations are a new kind of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 

The company counts many domestic and international nonprofits, multinational NGOs and foundations among its clients. With over 30 years of experience, Waldron provides a combination of executive search, leadership and organizational development, and career transition services.

“In addition to working with social sector organizations, being a socially responsible company is part of our anatomy.” said Waldron’s Founder and CEO, Tom Waldron. “We view joining the B Corp community as a natural step in articulating our mission and commitment to helping people and organizations increase their impact.”

Headquartered in Seattle with additional offices in Boston, Portland OR, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Boise, Waldron is also an equity-owner of Career Partners International (CPI), a global talent management firm, allowing the firm to provide services to its clients on a global basis.
