C-Suite Searches for Nonprofits
Every C-level leader has the potential to transform an organization for the better.
Recruiting a chief level executive is a pivot point for any mission-driven organization. That’s because individual professionals and collective teams can advance both your organization’s mission and its leadership within the field. This is particularly true for organizations seeking eminently qualified and talented candidates in fundraising, finance, communications, and other specialized areas who may not be actively in the job market. Whether your organization is seeking a Chief Financial Officer, Chief Development Officer, Vice President of Advancement, or Director of Communications, you can anticipate a thoughtful and thorough opportunity assessment that shapes and translates your needs and expectations into a robust promotion of the opportunity that attracts stellar candidates. You will also benefit from our deep sector-specific knowledge, which will deepen your understanding of the issues and demands facing top-level leaders in your space. All of this strengthens your ability to engage and recruit truly inspiring candidates.
Our clients appreciate our ability to recruit senior leaders who are fully prepared to energize their colleagues and catalyze their bold vision. Not only will you welcome a talented leader, you will reap follow-on benefits as your new executive goes on to recruit team members at the vice president and director level, as well.

We hired Development Guild DDI for the first time to conduct our search for a Vice President for Advancement. We had done a number of senior development searches over the years, and the pool of candidates Development Guild presented was, by far, the best we had ever seen. Any of the three finalists could have been an excellent hire.
