Our team specialises in offering an integrated, flexible recruitment service. We can provide support with permanent, temporary, contract, and part-time recruitment, working closely with our clients to deliver the best solution for them.
Our team is divided into two desks: Education and Arts, Charities and Funders. Both desks have built a strong understanding of their specialist recruitment areas, and the unique challenges and concerns faced by their clients. Our consultants all have experience of recruiting a huge range of roles, so you’ll have access to a dedicated account manager for all your recruitment needs. They’re also experienced not for profit specialists, with strong personal and professional links across the sector.
We’ve built a reputation for candidate care, and developed an outstanding, diverse portfolio of skilled job seekers. We know how important it is to get to know people and organisations in depth, interviewing candidates face to face and visiting our clients to get a better understanding of what they do. We’re thoroughly committed to promoting equal opportunities, using advertising and our links across the sector to ensure a diverse base of skilled candidates from a huge range of backgrounds.
