Fundraising Recruitment
Connecting organisations with the most talented, committed and ambitious fundraisers, we combine deep sector knowledge with extensive networks to recruit across all fundraising disciplines from entry-level to director roles.
About our Fundraising Recruitment Team
Our dedicated Fundraising Team is resourced with individuals who have worked successfully as both charity sector fundraisers and recruitment consultants. They have chosen to focus on this area because they care about building the capacity and impact of our clients and want to see candidates progress, excel and achieve their own ambitions.
We understand that fundraising recruitment is difficult and our team are meeting each day to understand how they can improve recruitment for the sector. We care about accessibility and transparency in recruitment and will always create space for applications to be received in whatever form the candidate is most comfortable; if we get inclusivity right in fundraising recruitment, we end up getting a lot of other things right for candidates, clients, and organisations. We encourage applications from all sectors of the UK and international communities and are always on hand to support candidates and clients to deliver exceptional applications and engaging job descriptions.
Our service as Fundraising Recruitment experts
We can adapt our service to your requirements and are fully experienced across temporary and interim fundraising recruitment, executive search, and contingency recruitment, specialising in roles focused on business development, income generation, partnerships, major donors, philanthropy and other fundraising streams. We design each piece of recruitment around your needs and ensure complete transparency of process to the fundraising community.
We have developed our extensive networks as longstanding active and engaged members of the fundraising community. It is this knowledge and experience that gives us a deep contextual understanding of our clients and their fundraising goals, and the broad reach to recruit to all levels, disciplines and income streams.
With increased pressure on services and funding streams, there has never been a more important time for organisations to appoint talented fundraisers to secure the resources they need to deliver their mission.
