Partnership for Success
Your nonprofit shouldn’t have to compromise when searching for a highly qualified leader.
Executive searches are commonly hindered by things like…
Limited Reach
Filling C-level roles in the social profit sector is very 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.
High Charges
At Cause Leadership we believe flat-fee executive search and recruitment beats the traditional percentage-based fee model for social impact organizations.
Unlike the traditional model of search consulting, we charge a fixed fee for our executive search services, 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.
Lack of 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.Time &

Some Mission-Driven Organizations We Have Served
Our Nonprofit Executive Search & Recruitment Marketing Services
Fully Managed Executive Search
Your mission-driven organization doesn’t want to deal with the time-consuming old-school process of vetting dozens of unqualified candidates to uncover a few good matches.
Rather, you want a fully managed nonprofit leader search where you’ll get a highly calibrated shortlist representing the top candidates who meet your requirements and share the vision for advancing your cause.
Recruitment Marketing
For mission-driven organizations who want to supplement part of their search for a new executive hire with the marketing assistance of an experienced Canadian executive search firm.
This approach provides you with a pool of candidates to interview without the costs of a fully managed search.
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.
