HIRING RESOURCES
This section brings together practical resources for organisations making important hiring decisions — particularly within for-purpose and social impact contexts, where both capability and alignment matter. From articles and insights to structured guidance, each piece is designed to support a more considered approach to leadership hiring. This includes how to define success clearly, assess cultural and values alignment, and run processes that are both rigorous and fair. |
These resources reflect the patterns we see across the sector — where hiring processes can become unclear, where strong candidates are sometimes lost, and what tends to lead to more confident, well-aligned outcomes.
Whether you are preparing for a key appointment or refining your approach to recruitment more broadly, the aim is to provide clarity, structure and practical support at each stage of the process.

CLIENT REFLECTIONS
"Social Impact Careers conducted a highly confidential executive search for us during a period of significant organisational transformation. They handled the process with discretion and clarity, ultimately securing a leader who was exactly what we needed at that moment in time."
"Social Impact Careers' expertise in identifying and securing top-tier talent has significantly contributed to our organisation's success. They demonstrated a thorough understanding of our hiring needs and delivered outstanding candidates in a timely manner."
"For the past two years, Social Impact Careers has supported our organisation with the recruitment of multiple different roles. Lisa is a true professional who has delivered great candidates and great results every time."
"There are two things that stand out for me in my experience with Social Impact Careers. Firstly, they provided an insight into candidates that persuaded me to look at options that I might not have otherwise considered. Lisa saw attributes of a candidate that were not immediately obvious and directed me to these attributes. Secondly, she was flexible and accommodating of my availability, but in being flexible didn't allow the process to slip and risk losing candidates. These two things, coupled with an understanding of the NGO sector, ultimately delivered an excellent outcome."
"We engaged Social Impact Careers to appoint a Head of Fundraising during an important period for our organisation. The impact was felt quickly — within 12 months, fundraising targets were not only met but exceeded, setting a new benchmark for performance."
"Social Impact Careers understood who we needed to join our senior management team and provided thorough and detailed support at each stage of the selection and recruitment process. They take the time to really get to know candidates, what motivates them and how they will 'fit'."
“Social Impact Careers supported us on a time-critical executive appointment where getting the right person in place quickly really mattered. They moved with pace and precision, presenting a strong shortlist and helping us secure a high-calibre leader within a tight timeframe.”
"I have been fortunate in experiencing Lisa's recruitment style as a job seeker and as a customer. She forms a strong relationship bonds and it becomes very easy to trust. I felt confident that she advocated positively for me during my job seeking experience and I was extremely pleased with the results she delivered in recruiting to a specialist role. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone currently looking for your ideal role, and for any employer needing to fill key positions."
“What stood out in working with Social Impact Careers was their ability to challenge and refine our thinking. They didn’t just take the brief at face value, but helped us think more strategically about the role, which ultimately led to a far stronger appointment.”
