Service Description

The right leader can change everything. At Onyx Nonprofit Strategies, we help mission-driven organizations identify and attract the kind of leaders who don’t just check boxes—they move your mission forward. Whether you’re hiring your next Executive Director, CEO, or key senior staff member, we bring a thoughtful, tailored approach to executive search that centers your culture, values, and future. We understand that in the nonprofit world, hiring isn’t just about qualifications—it’s about alignment. The right hire will carry your vision, inspire your team, and steward your resources wisely. That’s why our process is designed to go deeper than resumes and references. We focus on character, competency, and chemistry. Our executive search services include: • Position and profile development • Salary benchmarking and compensation strategy • Customized outreach and targeted recruitment • Candidate screening and structured interviews • Leadership assessments (optional) • Stakeholder listening sessions • Board and staff hiring committee coordination • Onboarding support and coaching for new leaders • Confidential interim leadership planning (if needed) • Faith-aligned search process available on request We don’t run your search through a formula—we steward it like it’s our own organization. As former nonprofit executives ourselves, we know the stakes are high. We’ve sat in the seat, built the teams, and understand how to discern the difference between a strong candidate and the right one. Whether you’re preparing for a planned transition or responding to a sudden vacancy, we’ll walk with you every step of the way. Quietly confident. Deeply relational. Focused on fit.
