Executive Search
Welcome to Harris Hill Executive Search
Welcome to our search practice for CEO and board-level recruitment in the UK charity sector.
Appointing a new CEO or chair is one of the biggest responsibilities you can face as a charity trustee, given the potential impact on the organisation. It’s a hugely consequential decision, but given the lengthy tenure of most appointments, one that very few people have to make more than once or twice in their career.
That’s why it makes sense to partner with people with extensive, regular and recent experience of recruiting exceptional leaders, and few have more than our Executive Search specialists, each of whom has been successfully appointing charity CEOs, chairs and senior leadership for an average of more than 16 years.
Appointments at this level can have a significant impact on your organisation, so securing the right candidates is vital. Here are just some of the reasons we believe there's no more reliable way of doing so.
We're proud to have:
The UK's largest and most experienced team of charity executive recruiters.
A track record of more than 500 successful appointments nationwide at CEO and director level.
Extensive board-level experience with forensic knowledge of each specialist field.
Exceptional candidates for both permanent and interim/contract positions.
A success rate of more than 95% for the senior executive assignments we handle.
The ability to guarantee you a successful outcome, or a full refund of all fees.
