What we look for
What are the qualities of MotivatED talent?

Mission & Values Alignment
We prioritize candidates whose personal purpose, values, and lived experiences align with the mission of the organizations we serve. Passion for impact is a core requirement, not an optional trait.

03
Commitment to Equity
We intentionally seek out diverse talent and evaluate candidates’ understanding of equity, cultural competence, and their ability to contribute to inclusive workplaces.
04
Professionalism & Growth Mindset
We vet for qualities that enable long-term success: accountability, communication skills, integrity, and a willingness to learn and grow. We look for leaders who bring both humility and drive.
