Executives with empathy

We help you find exceptional executives with empathy and enthusiasm for your endeavours. Try saying that quickly five times.

Executive search

We’ll design you a bespoke executive recruitment campaign and use our huge (not that we’re bragging, it’s just true) existing network to attract the best possible candidates. We’ve done this hundreds of times, so we know what works.

Executive talent makes a huge difference to charities and not-for-profit organisations, and the third sector deserves incredible leadership. So, when you come to us for support, we’ll assign you a dedicated Senior Consultant. They’ll take all elements of the recruitment process off your plate, so you can keep the wheels turning.

Each campaign is unique to the needs of the individual organisation.

That’s because our start-point is always to have a jolly good poke around. When you recruit us to recruit for you, we want to know everything. It’s not because we’re nosy, it’s because we work as an extension of your organisation. Understanding exactly how you work helps us represent you authentically when we reach out to potential candidates.

Once we know it all (bar your favourite song for karaoke and your great-grandma’s maiden name), we get planning for your perfect match. Thanks to our decades in the industry, we can quickly identify what kind of personality would be a great fit for you. Then, we design your campaign to bring out the best possible executive candidates for your needs.

And it’s always worth repeating, we favour personality, ethos, and skillset over arbitrary tick boxes, so you can expect a diverse and dynamic group of candidates. Get in touch to discuss how we can improve your organisation’s leadership.

Why Charisma?

We’ll find your perfect person

Decades of experience in the charity and not-for-profit sector means we can snout out talent like a pig snouts truffles. We’ll find candidates with the skills and experience you’re looking for, so you can get on with changing the world.

We care about our people

Our business is all about people, and our own lovely humans are Charisma’s biggest strength. We invest in their development because we want them to continue being industry leaders. And to keep them happy, naturally. We offer flexible working because when we’re at our best, we can help you do incredible things.

We keep our ears to the ground

We stay up-to-date with all the latest industry trends, developments and other goings-on to give you a full consultancy service. Nothing gets past us. So, we can advise on your legal and ethical duties, and also give you the heads up on what’s working (and what’s not) in the sector.

We care about all people

You can only be truly innovative when you’ve got a diverse workforce bringing unique perspectives to the work you do. We tear up the tick lists and reach out to a wide range of candidates, regardless of their background.

We partner with you

This isn’t a one-way thing. We work alongside you, get to know you, and learn how you work. That way, we can find the best candidates to match your unique needs. The end goal is to put your organisation in a stronger position; we meet you where you are now and go from there.
