”Working with Neil was a thoroughly pleasurable experience from start through to finish. He was knowledgeable and informative regarding both the organisation and the role and his communication was excellent. Most importantly at no point throughout the process did I ever feel I was a mere commodity, but was treated respectfully as both a person and a candidate. I highly recommend Charity People and look forward to using them again as both candidate and hiring manager.

”I’ve worked with Amelia as both a recruiter and candidate for a number of years. As a candidate, I’ve really valued and trusted Amelia’s insights into an organisation’s team and culture, alongside a thorough understanding of the opportunity itself. I’ve felt fully prepped and prepared by Amelia before interview who is always happy to provide more info, update and advise throughout the process. As a client, I recognise the importance for Amelia to take the time to understand exactly what the role and team needs so that the whole recruitment process is as effective and positive as possible. It is a pleasure to work with Amelia.

”I have worked with Charity People and Nick Billingham for well over ten years. Charity People have all the positive attributes of a small, family run company with all the clout & expertise of a much, much larger organisation. They are genuinely interested in both the charity and the candidates which makes a change from some other recruiters who tend to give you a block of people on their books without much thought to mix or fit. Nick is great to know and work with and takes time to get to know you and how you best work. He is always full of useful insight into the sector and trends.

”Tatiana is a fantastic people person and by far one of the best recruiters I have worked with. She always carries through with her plans and takes feedback very well. Her soft skills allow her to execute the appropriate actions for different clients, something that is very valuable in today's market. Tatiana's continued engagement with her clients to enhance results is particularly impressive.

”When working with recruitment agencies, I want them to understand our organisation, culture, what we do and don't want in a candidate and I want them to be able to do all of this quickly and without fuss. Ellen makes the recruitment process simple. She's a pleasure to work with, professional, efficient, knowledgable. Ellen just gets it and her experience shines through. I recently worked with Ellen on a Yorkshire role and the pool of candidates she presented to us were very strong. I recommend her to anyone.

”I have worked with Anna as both an employer and candidate and she is, without question, the best recruitment agent in the business.

Anna is sincere and passionate about her work and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

”Stuart was enormously supportive during the recruitment process for my current role at Street League. He really took the time to get to know me and his understanding of Street League and the role of Head of Major Giving was insightful as I prepared for interviews. I really can't thank Stuart enough for finding me this role, nor can I recommend him enough as an enthusiastic and knowledgeable recruiter.

”Having never used a recruiter before in my career, working with Ben was a real joy. He took all of the stress out of applying for a job I really wanted at an organisation I wanted to be a part of. He was friendly and personable and promoted an open dialogue. He arranged interviews and negotiated on my behalf and I would definitely recommend working with him to find your next employment opportunity. I have already shared his details with friends and colleagues.

”I've worked with Neil on a few recruitment campaigns at different organisations and it's always been a pleasure. He takes time to understand the specific needs and peculiarities of the role as well as the organisational culture then provides a great range of candidates against the brief. He has extensive knowledge of both the not-for-profit sector and is clearly passionate about his work, his additional advice and recommendations make all the difference from simply receiving a list of candidate CVs. With great communication and responsiveness throughout the process I'd highly recommend Neil.

”'Trust’ is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Zelda. After meeting Zelda I knew I could trust her to find a good match between clients and myself. In fact, my previous role at Breast Cancer Now was meant to be a few months and lasted a year! As I venture a career in Salesforce I know that Zelda contributed towards my career change. After I told her I passed my Salesforce Administrator Exam, she managed to find me a temporary data role using Salesforce!

”I've just had a thoroughly positive experience working with Philippa Bryant recruiting two important posts at Barts Charity. Philippa helped guide the Job Description production to ensure that we attracted the best candidates for the roles in a very short time frame and only presented candidates that she knew would suit the organisation. The whole process was relatively quick and painless and I'm delighted with the results.
