Find the Leader You Need
Partnership for Success
Your nonprofit shouldn’t have to compromise when searching for a highly qualified leader.
But most nonprofits find themselves compromising …
Limited Reach
Filling C-level roles in the social profit sector is excessively challenging. Not only are you competing with other non-profit organizations for the same talent, you are also competing with the for-profit sector who can lure your top Talent away.
Lack of Diversity
You’re overwhelmed and need a systematic process to court the ideal candidate who could provide your organization with the fundamental leadership that it needs.
The best candidates come from positive outreach, rather than passive responses to job postings. We make pro-active connections rather than relying on just the current pool of job seekers.
Over Charged
At Cause Leadership we believe flat-fee executive and recruitment beats the traditional commission-based fee model for social impact organizations.
Unlike the traditional model of search consulting, we charge a fixed fee for our assignments, which eliminates the conflicts-of-interest of percentage fees. You don’t have to pay a high commission fee to uncover top talent; you deserve pricing you can trust.
Time & Experience
To advance your mission with the right leader, you need the best available top candidates which comes from deep search and proactive recruitment – both of which take time and experience.
Unlike traditional channels, you get a wider and targeted reach beyond the standard search firm networks.
Why settle for less?

Everything falls and rises with great leadership. The wrong hire can be costly. For such an important role, your organization deserves to have a list of strong candidates to choose from.

Search Assist
For mission-driven organizations who want to supplement part of their search for a new executive hire with the assistance of an experienced executive search firm.
When I originally reached out to Cause Leadership I was looking for some boutique support on a search I was about to undertake.
My time was quite limited as we were in the full throws of the pandemic and a large campaign, so I needed a search partner to work with me to share the work and make is easier to manage the search process.
I appreciate and value the partnership that Cause Leadership brought to our last search. We were able to work together to identify a stellar candidate who’s been a tremendous contributor since joining our organization.
Tania Little, CFRE
We were facing the retirement of an ED who had been with the organization for 20+ years, the entire time our organization had existed.
This presented us with considerable anxiety, as no doubt it would be a big change for our organization, but we also saw it as an exciting turning point. We would be entering a new chapter in the future of our organization, which also presented as an opportunity.
Cause Leadership seemed to be the right fit for us as an organization– their personal style, their understanding of our specific needs, and how the process needed to be adapted to meet that need. Dave who led the search, had experience working on a Board himself.
