Charity recruitment support

It’s always a joy to work with people who are committed to working for charity, and I have personally advised numerous charities on their communications and fundraising recruitment campaigns.

I specialise in four key aspects of the recruitment process:

  • Executive research.
  • Creative copywriting for advertised campaigns.
  • Candidate behavioural interviewing.
  • Coaching and interview preparation.

I work freelance and in-house on recruitment projects depending on your needs.
