Charity Headhunters
As expert charity headhunters, we take a proactive approach to identifying and attracting the best leadership talent in the sector.

We recruit for key leadership positions, including:
- Chief Executive Officers (CEOs)
- Executive Directors
- Chief Operating Officers (COOs)
- Directors of Fundraising & Philanthropy
- Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)
- Program Directors & Impact Leaders
- Directors of Communications & Advocacy
Our executive headhunting strategies focus on identifying candidates who not only have the right expertise but also align with the values and mission of the organization.
