About Our Executive Search Firm

Building relationships is our business.

We are founded on the principle that partnering—with our clients, with candidates, and with each other—leads to the best results in recruitment.

Since 1999, Sage Search Partners has partnered with hundreds of organizations to recruit outstanding leaders.  We are committed to providing the highest quality of service to our clients.

In March 2024, Sage Search became part of Lindauer, where Paula Fazli, co-founder of Sage Search, now serves as Senior Vice President and Higher Education Practice Co-Lead. As one of the world’s leading retained executive search firms dedicated to serving nonprofits, Lindauer is known for providing the same personalized, high-touch service that has been a cornerstone of the Sage Search approach over the past 25 years.

Fazli carries on the legacy of Sage Search Partners in her senior leadership role at Lindauer. She continues to partner with clients to find exceptional leaders who unlock the potential of people and advance the missions of institutions in higher education and beyond.
