”I would like to highly commend Joseph as a great Recruitment Consultant – my dealings with him for a short-notice temp appointment recently were very positive. Joseph is professional, helpful and considers all the little details to ensure a smooth recruitment process. Joseph provided a meticulous service, fast responses, navigated last minute changes and supplied several wonderful candidates to consider, one of which we happily hired. I would highly recommend both Joseph and the Charity People Agency.

”Over the past year, Zelda has successfully helped us fill a number of interim roles to provide additional capacity across many levels and teams – everything from administration and campaign support to senior partnership and comms management. She has been consistent in quickly understanding the brief, providing an excellent range of candidates and keeping us up to date. Her understanding of the market and sound advice has been hugely valuable, along with her excellent networks and friendly approach.

”I recruited 2 amazing candidates for my team through Charity People. Zelda was really communicative and easy to work with, and made the whole process really smooth.
Tessa BaileyLegacy & In Memory Fundraising Manager, Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
”The service provided has been great, we had a good number of CVs to look through, and all candidates shared did have good experience, which showed that Charity People clearly understood what we were looking for. The communication between us and Joseph has been good, quick responses and very polite through it all. The process with interviews and offering of the role to Sherena was clearly explained and handled well. Overall, a good experience – a big thank you for you all your help.

”Tatiana approached me to give Charity People a try for two temp positions that I needed to fill fairly swiftly. After a few straightforward email exchanges, Tatiana already had three candidates in mind and sent their details over within 24hrs. Tatiana arranged for a brief introductory chat with them and they were all perfectly suitable for the position. I chose two of them off the back of that chat and after just three weeks in position, they are settled, proactive and conscientious. I'm very happy with them and Tatiana's reliable recommendations.

”In my line of work, agents are part of life. I depend on them to help fill roles and I rely on them to portray the roles with the same energy, enthusiasm and passion as me. We were looking to fill a post of compliance within the growing and demanding fundraising team. We had seen several people and we were getting to the stage when I thought the perfect person did not exist. Zelda never gave up searching- her personable approach, meticulous tendency as well as sheer dogged determination meant that the perfect person did exist. Three months in, she is still the perfect person. I would definitely work with Zelda again.
Leo ViscontiDeputy Director of Fundraising, St Mungos
”Zelda is a pleasure to work with. I have worked with her on recruiting temporary staff to my team, and found her to be very efficient in finding suitable candidates and working through the process. Zelda takes into account the needs of my team, and sends over candidates who are very relevant for the roles. We have successfully placed several staff through Zelda, and I look forward to working with her again in future.
