Organizations seeking to make a difference in the world are only as effective as their impact. At CBIZ EFL Associates’ Nonprofit and Social Impact specialty practice, we believe that transformative talent is the key to unlocking the kind of maximized impact that results in real change - delivering value to individuals, families, and communities. Talented leadership can establish culture, overcome obstacles, and plan for long-term success. We partner with clients to identify exceptional talent that catalyzes an organization’s mission from intent into impact.
Dedicated to Serving Local and National Organizations, Foundations, Associations, and Educational Institutions
As experienced search practitioners, we know how to reach elusive candidates, identify untapped talent, and effectively evaluate cultural fit and strategic competency. We engage in deep strategy work with our clients, getting to know their organizational structure and key stakeholders, their pressing challenges and pain points, and their vision for the future. Our firm determines what knowledge, experience, and skills an ideal candidate needs to possess and what success looks like in the position sought. Accordingly, we build a customized search strategy rooted in original research and discovery, and iteratively engage in our search process with the client until an ideal candidate has been placed. All this contributes to our extremely high stick rate, where 90% of CBIZ EFL-placed Executive Directors and CEOs remain in their positions for 5 years or more.
