Fitzwilliam Third Sector Recruitment is dedicated to providing added value through its sector expertise and personal attention to client needs while leveraging the full benefit of its executive search practice and a wide network of resources in the private, public and not for profit sectors.
Contacts and Knowledge
We have extensive contacts and an enhanced knowledge of many business sectors. Our methodology has always been to nurture and gain the confidence of the major players in the market place by being discreet, respectful and efficient in our work ethic. We work closely with professional leaders to ensure that the skills of the candidates align with the organizations’ cultures and future needs. With our insider knowledge and experience, we understand the unique culture of not-for-profit organizations and the executives who have contributed to their success.
Methodology
We pride ourselves on our original research and quality driven methodology. We have an existing pool of proven professional candidates from across Canada, from which to draw upon and a diversified database as a significant sourcing base. We make it our business to know who is “in the news” and what issues will become the future trends in the third sector. We have a wide network of contacts who can provide third party referrals to potential candidates.
Timely identification of candidates
Fitzwilliam Third Sector Recruitment has the ability and the resources to quickly identify candidates who have the kind of leadership that typifies the increasing professionalism required within the dynamic non-profit sector.
Personal Service
We maintain consistent support and personalized services. We listen to and communicate effectively with the search committee, board members, industry experts and potential candidates throughout the process and beyond. We are quality driven and passionately committed.
Innovative Pricing
Our professional fees are structured according to the specifics of each mandate. The mandate’s scope, complexity, and the seniority of the candidate profile are some of the criteria we consider. We also offer a modified service and a wide “menu” of services to choose from. We produce cost effective identification of high calibre candidates.
We know that nowhere is the need for continuous effective leadership more crucial than within a non-profit organization. We understand the delicate balance faced in juggling fiscal accountability, cost effective operations, competition for funds and attention to diverse stakeholders. Working with complex and politically sensitive reporting structures, third sector organizations require visionary leaders with outstanding communication skills. As the sector has grown, so has the sophistication of its workforce. Experienced executive directors, managers, fund-raisers and financial advisors have led many non-profits towards greater financial stability and mission impact. The role of third sector professionals is increasingly demanding as they must add value to the strategic planning process and contribute to the organization’s competitive positioning. More than ever, not-for-profit organizations require our specialized services and approach to recruit the professionals who will lead their organizations now and into the future.
Today competition for top talent is keen, whether candidates are drawn from within or outside the not-for-profit sector. The use of outside search consultants has become a necessity rather than a luxury. We are sensitive to the process, the time constraints and the discretion needed in recruiting new professionals.
Fitzwilliam Third Sector Recruitment identifies candidates who bring the experience and diversity of perspective to find solutions, serve new needs, meet goals and negotiate corporate alliances. Our search and selection procedures produce candidates who are better prepared to deal with the challenges of change in our complex society whether they are ever increasing government cutbacks, economic downturns in the private sector or just keeping up with global trends.
We have the professional experience and expertise to help your organization meet its objectives. |
