Your nonprofit shouldn’t have to compromise when searching for a highly qualified leader.

Nonprofit executive searches are commonly hindered by things like… 

Limited Reach

Filling C-level roles in the social profit sector is very challenging. You are competing with other non-profit organizations for the same talent and the for-profit industry that can lure your top talent away.

Lack of Diversity

      You’re challenged to find the best leadership talent and need a systematic process to court the ideal candidate who could provide your organization with the balanced leadership 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.

Limited Connections

At Cause Leadership we believe an exclusive retained executive search and recruitment partner works best for nonprofit organizations.

Unlike other Canadian executive search and recruitment firms that do not understand the charitable sector, we do because we work in the sector all the time. You get first-hand knowledge and relationships with the kind of candidates you are looking for.

Lack of Time & Experience

To advance your mission, you need the best available top candidates from a 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 and in less time.

Why settle for less?
