Non Profit Executive Directors Job Search
In your search for an executive director, you must take the time to screen and interview top candidates to avoid the costly mistake of hiring an incompatible candidate.
While personality and interpersonal skills are important, they aren't the only factors to consider during your search. Visit our Free Stuff resource page to find out more about hiring for nonprofit organizations.
Some organizations have chosen to hire charismatic leaders only to find that their charm and charisma hides a lack of ambition to actually do the job.
Nonprofits can be overwhelmed with work trying to make the world a better place, and many are already understaffed. Without the guidance of an executive director, employees don't have direction. Therefore, such a vacancy is often an urgent situation for organizations. Yet without the time to devote to a search, that position won't be filled in a timely manner, and you have no way to ensure you'll choose the right person.
That's where Capability Company comes in. We will assess your need for an executive director, build a complete job description and define the qualities you are looking for. Then we actively search for candidates who match your requirements.
We don't sit around and wait for resumes to float in; we look for people who are already happy in their jobs and interested in making a change. In this way, you can be sure your candidates are people who already have produced results at their respective nonprofits. Find out more about How We Work or Contact Us.
We can also receive resumes, screen candidates and conduct interviews and reference checks to eliminate unsuitable candidates before you meet them.
If you choose, we will also extend the offer and negotiate salary according to your parameters, so you avoid a potentially awkward situation with somebody who's about to come on-board. Finally, we can coach new hires for their first three months to make sure they are meeting your expectations.
