Chief Executive
Recruiting the right charity CEO is critical for any organisation’s ongoing success and impact, and it is one of the most important duties of a Board.
Our CEO recruitment service goes beyond just filling a position; it’s about finding the perfect match between visionary leaders and not-for-profit organisations driven by purpose.
A leading charity CEO recruitment agency
There are many elements of a recruitment and appointment process that need to be managed well. Prospectus brings proven capability in all critical elements of a successful chief executive search; working with organisations to shape the requirement, identifying and engaging the right individuals, supporting our clients in the appointments process, and also in advising on inclusive assessment and interview processes.
Our focus on leadership diversity
It is imperative for the Charity sector to become more diverse and inclusive and we acknowledge the role that we can play in this as recruiters and advisors. We challenge and champion what diversity, equity and inclusion means for you in the context of a search process. Last year 30% of our Chief Executive and leadership appointments were Black and People of Colour and 60% were female.
Whether you are looking to recruit your charity CEO or interim charity CEO, our expert charity Executive Search team can help. Reach out to us on the button below to start a conversation today.
