Testimonials
"Over the last 18 months, Butterfly Foundation in partnership with NGO Recruitment has recruited 13 positions across Australia from our Clinical Director and Head of Finance to our National Philanthropy Manager. These positions have been due to the internal growth required to meet the needs of those who we represent. Despite the challenges of COVID-19 and alike, I have found working with NGO Recruitment to be an excellent experience. As always, some roles were easy to find, some much harder. NGO Recruitment always works to understand what is needed for a role, what is unique and what would fit with our culture."

“When we engaged NGO Recruitment to search for a new CEO for the Fundraising Institute of Australia, all our expectations were met and exceeded throughout the search process. The team did a fantastic job in identifying and engaging a remarkable lead candidate for the CEO role. What impressed me most was NGO Recruitment’s great ability to really understand the person needed for the position, beyond just their skills, and to assess cultural fit and suitability based on career stage. We were 100% satisfied with the level of service provided and would not hesitate to engage NGO Recruitment again for future executive search requirements.”

“Louise was engaged by an NGO to find a regional director for North Qld. I was the person they found. Louise was exceptional to deal with. She was responsive, clear, engaging and helpful. Obviously her client was the org, but I found she seemed to invest as much in her communication and support of me. She was professional throughout and I would highly recommend her to any agency. If you find the right person for your agency you don't want to lose them through poor communication or mismanagement. Louise is the person who will make sure they stay connected and invested.”

Our consultant was extremely quick to respond, meeting and interviewing the team requiring a temp in person, and we were very happy with the result.

"NGO Recruitment were one of 5 recruitment agencies I reached out to when in urgent need of someone with specialised skill. I chose NGO as they were the company I felt most at ease with and who I thought I could trust to find me the skill I needed at a competitive price. I was put in touch with Natalie who made the process so easy and who also took the time to really understand my needs. Her recruitment selection was extremely thoughtful and reflective of the values of our organisation. The candidate she put forward turned out to be excellent for the role and fitted into the team extremely well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Natalie and NGO Recruitment for future recruitment."

Louise was very supportive every step of the way and made herself readily available to answer all of my many questions. As a result, I have no doubt Louise helped bring out my full potential, especially during the final stages where I had the best interviews of my career to date. I have no hesitation in recommending NGO Recruitment to my colleagues and wider networks. Thank you Louise.”

“WWF Singapore used NGO recruitment for a number of key roles in our fundraising team, including Head of Individual Giving, Database Manager and Head of Philanthropy, as well as a Specialist Global Palm Oil Expert role.
WWF SG is embarking on an ambitious growth strategy so having the right talent on board is absolutely critical, but our existing HR team had limited fundraising candidate networks or the time. I would recommend NGO recruitment for anyone interested in hiring good fundraising talent.”

"When we engaged NGO Recruitment to help search for a new CEO, we were aware of the challenges of scoping across a relatively small niche of potential applicants. But the team’s creative and positive approach to the recruitment process ultimately produced a great outcome.
Our consultant constructed a thorough candidate profile which she adhered to during the entire search process. This also allowed her to investigate and present candidates with considerable skills but who were not necessarily fully aligned with the position.
I genuinely appreciated the excellent level of interaction and communication NGO Recruitment provided throughout the recruitment process and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

"Natalie and NGO Recruitment were absolutely fantastic at finding and securing me a temp role that was parallel to my level of expertise, along with an excellent interview and prepping process, she was available throughout my contract for any questions or issues I needed assistance with. I couldn’t recommend Natalie more highly for any temp work in the sector and would recommend NGO Recruitment as a first point of contact for job seekers or employers. Natalie is very personable and professional, and really did go above and beyond to assist me during the entire duration of my contract. If I seek another role in the future I would contact NGO Recruitment first and foremost due to their expertise, contacts and professionalism in the sector."
