What a great experience!!
I have to say that the team at Charity Recruit really went out of their way to help me as a candidate.

Everything from giving me clear information about the roles, right the way through to interview support.

I would definately recommend them...

Evidence-led advice that genuinely stands out

I recently attended a Charity Recruit boardroom discussion with Mark Phillips, and it was one of the most valuable sessions I’ve taken part in.

One of the ongoing challenges in the charity sector is the volume of advice available, much of which is presented as best practice but often lacks a clear evidence base. It’s not uncommon for organisations to invest time and money implementing recommended approaches, only to see little or no meaningful result.

What stood out here was the complete contrast to that. The session was grounded in real data, clearly explaining why certain approaches work and where common assumptions fall short. It challenged a number of widely repeated ideas in fundraising and did so in a way that was both practical and credible.

The fact that Charity Recruit provided this level of insight in a free session speaks volumes about their knowledge and expertise as specialist charity recruiters. It felt informative, honest, and genuinely useful rather than promotional.

I would highly recommend engaging with them if you’re looking for informed, evidence-based thinking in the charity space.

Enthusiastic organised insightful

Emily was courteous, organised and enthusiastic throughout; her style and manner instilled a sense of confidence. She had prepared carefully and appropriately and by her manner set a high expectations. She brought out the best out in me,.

A genuine pleasure to engage with

A genuine pleasure to engage with! And really enjoyed involvement with the podcast Charity Champions. Warm, down to earth and authentic - while at the same time clearly really good! A great combination!

Podcast

I took part in a podcast with Emily. She was incredibly professional and ensured I was prepared and knew exactly how it would be structured. The podcast was relaxed and easy due to Emily's ability to put me at ease. A big thank you to Emily!

Emily is thoroughly professional in all aspects of recruitment but what makes her exceptional is her personal warmth, honesty and genuine interest in people. She makes sure that she matches the right candidates to the right positions and maintains contact throughout the assignment to provide support and advice.

Exceptional experience

Our experience with Emily from Charity Recruit has been exceptional. As a small charity needing support to recruit for a senior maternity cover role, Emily took all the stress out of the process and delivered exactly what we needed. She was attentive throughout and consistently followed up with us, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring.

From the very start Emily has been exceptional, from the get go Emily has added such a personal touch to our communication, remembering every detail, following up on my first day and week, checking in, in such a lovely compassionate way.
I have tended to avoided applying for jobs with agencies, yet this experience has changed my view completely. I will definitely go to Emily when my contract finishes.
Thank you for everything.

Great experience with Emily from Charity Recruit

Emily was a lovely person to talk to. She was very knowledgeable, asked the right questions and made the recruiting process friendly and easy, which is great when your nerves get to you ! She was supportive and reassuring the whole time, checking in before and after the interviews with the employer just to see how it all went. Even though I didn't get the job on this occasion, it was a pleasure dealing with Emily and hope to work with her again in the future!
