Nonprofit Executive Search Firm Serving Tampa, Florida + Nationwide
After using Catalyst, I can wholeheartedly say that we are more than pleased with our selection. The Board of Directors felt confident in our decision and the Executive Director transition was smooth and successful. We strongly believe that without Catalyst’s involvement, this process would have been a lot more challenging – they provided us with the perfect roadmap to ensure success.
CCS is unique as we are a firm that focuses solely on the nonprofit sector and has over 45 years combined experience in the areas of executive searches for positions of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Development Director, Human Resources, Finance, Accounting and Administrative We truly believe that the search process for a nonprofit is very different from a search for a for-profit organization as our firm has a greater sensitivity to budget, process, and expertise versus the larger staffing firms.
