Let's start the conversation...
Are you getting ready to start the search process at your church? Or maybe you’re in the midst of a search that needs a little extra help? Let’s talk. We’d love to hear your story and see if there’s a way that we can help find your next long-term ministry staff member.
we want you and your team to thrive in 2023
(Here's how we can help...)
new Staff hiring
Hiring staff is one of the most important things you will do this year.
Healthy churches start with healthy leadership. When it's time to add a new staff member to your team, you need to be sure their theology, mindset, personality, and skillset fit your specific church.
We have access to thousands of candidates... most of whom would be a complete disaster for your church.
The key is finding the right person.
Here's how we do it... 
existing staff transitioning
2023 Will be a year of rebuilding, restructuring, and transition.
Every church in America has been forced to re-envision and re-align their ministry plans. Changing ministries and priorities will also mean some staff will most likely transition off your team in the next twelve months.
some of these transitions may be painful and involuntary. Treat these people like family... because they are.
Help your outgoing staff land on their feet well.
Here's how we help you care for them... 
staff restructuring
MANY CHURCHES ARE DISCOVERING THAT IT'S TIME TO RESTRUCTURE THEIR STAFF.
Your church probably looks a lot different today than it did three years ago. As you change the way you minister to your people, it may be time to consider the overall structure of your staff or governance.
No one likes change. BUt sometimes change is necessary. Re-structuring your staff may be essential for your future.
What worked in three years ago may not be appropriate for today.
We help you think through the fog... 
Succession planning
your church's future success depends on how well you plan for succession.
If you are considering stepping out of your senior leadership role in the next five years, chances are you're already thinking about how to leave well. A written succession plan is the first place to start.
your church has important work to do in the future. a well-written succession plan helps make that a reality.
It all starts with a plan... on paper... in advance.
We can help you develop your plan... We know you have choices. Here's what makes
chemistry staffing different from the rest
(Here's what makes us unique...)
Our focus is the Church... That's It.
We love the church so much that we limit our work specifically with churches to help them find healthy long-term fits.
At Chemistry, we've limited our work to churches. We know and love the church, and our one mission is to help churches hire more effectively.

We are 100% focused on the church
Seriously. The Church is all we do. Don't get us wrong, we love non-profits and Christian schools. But we're PASSIONATE about the Church.
let's talk 125 Points of data on each candidate
We begin by assessing each of our candidates on theology, culture, personality, and skill.
By assessing every candidate up-front and comparing it to what you've told us you're looking for, we're able to drill down on great potential candidates for YOUR church.

we are firm believers in assessments
But many churches wait too far in the process to properly assess candidates. We've move the assessment to the front end of our search process. It just makes sense.
let's talk Our Pricing is Flat-Rate and affordable
Hiring should not be expensive. Our flat-rate pricing model is affordable for every size church and budget.
WIth Chemistry, you won't pay up to 1/3 of first-year salary. We're motivated by finding you a great fit not by receiving a big commission.

We charge a fair price that's affordable
We've worked with churches of 40 and churches of 8,000. Our process works for all sized churches, and is just as affordable for small churches as large ones.
Let's talk We work 100% Virtually
We do all of our work virtually. We leverage today's technology to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Working virtually saves us (and you) time and money. We can conduct most all of our work leveraging online video technology (and we'll show you how to use the same technology to save on your own internal interviews!)

technology is a beautiful thing (sometimes)
We've taken our entire process online yet our process is highly relational. Our virtual model allows for faster searches and lower pricing. (Both wins!)
let's talk You don't pay for our travel or expense accounts
The cost of our search is the cost of our search. No added travel expenses and no additional expense accounts.
You'll never be surprised at what you pay Chemistry Staffing. We don't fly on your dime. And we don't charge administrative fees... ever. You know exactly what you will pay.

beware of travel costs & expense accounts
Other search firms hop on planes to interview candidates. And you pay the bill. Travel and expenses can add 25-40% to your search cost with some firms.
let's talk We're 100% Ministry geeks
Every one of our team has extensive paid church staff experience. We know what it takes to lead, and how to spot a great leader.
Nothing surprises us. We've been in the trenches. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of ministry. We believe in the local church. We're motivated by helping churches by finding healthy team members.

We love the church (and it shows)
We're not stuffed shirts. And chances are you're not Life.Church or Saddleback. We'd get pretty 'geeked' about helping YOUR church find a new staff person.
let's talk What people are saying about chemistry...
"If I ever have to search for a church position again, I will definitely be using Chemistry Staffing. I have raved about this company a ton to my fellow pastor and ministry friends. With how easy this process was, I pray that this is the future of church job searching!"
"If you are looking to find new staff, please have a conversation with Chemistry. Finding the right staff is not easy. With Chemistry’s involvement, Central has been able to find a pastor who is excited about both the church and the community we are called to serve. Central has benefited from working with Chemistry. I believe they will be a blessing to you as well."
"Chemistry takes the time to get to know you as a candidate. They walk through initial interviews and are honest about where you would (and wouldn’t) be a good fit. They challenge you and coach you from interviewing to calling out the good that they see in you. They are not only concerned with getting you hired, but they want a good situation for you and the church. They are consistent in their follow up and encourage you as you continue to look for positions.
"Chemistry staffing was the answer to our search process and I would highly recommend them to any church looking for staff. Finding the right ministry fit is a daunting task made much easier with the help of a competent search company. Chemistry Staffing’s vetting process is thoughtful, thorough, and professional. It is obvious to me that they care deeply about being an aid to the process of finding and hiring church staff. Churches need to get it right the first time and it is Chemistry Staffing’s business to be part of making that a reality!"
