International Executive Recruitment for NGOs

Are you looking to recruit senior, experienced professional staff to fill top leadership positions in your voluntary organisation? 

In a highly competitive recruitment market, most NGOs are finding it increasingly difficult to find the right staff for such roles as Executive Director, Marketing/Fundraising Director, Finance Director and other senior executives.

To recruit these key posts, some NGOs have turned to recruitment agencies that advise on commercial or voluntary sector recruitment: but often many have found these agencies lacking in sensitivity and specialist experience required to fill overseas posts, or to establish new teams in new markets.
