"Having worked with one organization for the past few years, I requested Zoe´s (Oldham) help for fresh eyes on my CV and for sense checking my skills as I planned for the next step of my fundraising career. Zoe´s advice was insightful, timely and encouraging, and her way of guiding through the process is highly professional yet candid. Highly recommended. Thank you Zoe!"

Zoe Oldham was an absolute pleasure to deal with, always professional and brilliant at communicating and keeping me updated throughout the whole recruitment process. I appreciated the time she took to get to know me, my experience and what I was looking for to make a move, as well as her honesty and openness.

“Zoe was instrumental in helping me clarify the vision for my next career stage. During each session, she asked insightful questions which prompted me to think about my current strengths and skills. As I am exploring making the transition from the private sector to the INGO and IGO world, Zoe shared information about organizations and functions that could be of interest. Her approach is professional, thoughtful, and structured which made her a wonderful guide as I investigated what would best suit me.”
