The Not-For-Profit Recruitment Experts
About us
We specialise in connecting the best Digital, Data, Technology, and Fundraising talent with forward-thinking organisations in the Charity, Not-For-Profit and Public Sector space. Our team's passion and understanding of the challenges organisations in these sectors are facing paired with our extensive network of engaged Digital, Data, Technology, and Fundraising professionals is what sets us apart. We're part of the Understanding Recruitment family, an award-winning technology, software & digital recruitment consultancy. After recognising the challenges faced by Not-for-profit organisations when hiring Digital, Data and Technology talent we launched our Not-for-Profit (NFP) division in 2012. Since then we've built a team of experienced specialist consultants, dedicated to working with clients and candidates in the Charity, Not-For-Profit and Public Sectors. We are committed to upholding inclusive recruitment practices and strongly believe that recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce is the key to success. As part of this, we have signed up for the Disability Confident Scheme and are proud to play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. We have also pledged our full support to #ShowTheSalary and commit to displaying salaries on all our adverts. Having supported the charity sector for over eight years, we understand the negative effects and continued disparity caused by salary secrecy. We're dedicated to addressing these discriminatory practices and others, to promote inclusivity and equality within the charity sector.

A long-standing partnership, built on trust and results. Since 2018, we’ve proudly partnered with the National Deaf Children's Society, supporting their mission to improve outcomes for deaf children and their families across the UK. So when they needed to scale fast and transition to an agile framework, they turned to us again to fill two highly specialised roles. The result? → Both Digital Chapter Lead and Technology Chapter Lead roles were successfully filled. → An additional hire was made to support evolving needs. → Our partnership strengthened even further. 📖 Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/gPF3tAwu #CaseStudy #LongTermPartnerships #ClientSuccess #CharityJobs #UnderstandingRecruitment #NotForProfit

Organisational design is evolving fast. One charity shared how they're using Chapter Leads to build digital agility.

Just shared challenges and brave conversations. Want to join the next roundtable and learn how others are structuring their teams?
