”Ben has assisted me with looking for a role in the charity sector for nearly 2 years. I have always found Ben to be highly professional and an expert in his field of third sector recruitment. The jobs that Ben contacted me about were always well suited and he was able to provide me with any additional information I requested. If I was interested in a role, Ben would work with me on my application providing useful feedback. If I was lucky enough to be selected for an interview, Ben was always available to help with prep work and prompting me to think about things that may be discussed. On those occasions when I was not succesful in securing a role, Ben would always come back to me with helpful feedback and we would discuss what I could improve for the next time. I would highly recommend Charity People and, more specifically, Ben to anyone looking for a role in the charity sector. I am absolutely over the moon with the role I now work and that he helped me to secure.
Hannah RogersCustomer Communications Specialist
”Ben helped me to gain my dream job. I found Ben really helpful, attentive, friendly, professional and responsive. Where most agency contacts I dealt with had poor or virtually no communication after the initial contact they made, Ben was always on hand to advise and update me as I went through the process. What I really liked about Ben and Charity People is that he gave me pre-interview advice and help, taking the time to prepare me beforehand. I really appreciate Ben's help and would not hesitate in recommending him.
Sonya CMarketing Director, NatWest Business
”Ben is a brilliant recruiter who has found his niche in marketing, direct marketing and digital roles in the charity sector. I have never seen anyone who devotes so much time to making sure his candidates are well prepared and fully briefed for interviews. He is able to manage a large number of roles and yet make sure that every client gets the high level of service he prides himself on. Ben has been very successful at Charity People and works incredibly hard. He has also taken on additional responsibility for various projects and has helped, trained and supported colleagues when required. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben as a 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.
Dale Ellis
”Ben has an exceptionally good understanding of what employers are looking for, which makes him excellent at matching the right person with the right job. He is extremely helpful with interview preparation, and in my case he even helped me to arrive for my interview on time when disruptions threatened to make me late. It was of great value to have Ben throughout the entire process. He was wonderfully easy to work with and I would recommend him very highly.
