Board Recruitment

We can:

  • Work with you to design and deliver a fair, fast and smart process for identifying and selecting board members

  • Connect you to individuals on our Candidate Directory that have the skills, experience, credentials and connections you need

Why work with us?

Our support is completely free for highly-impactful organisations and can help you:

  • Prioritise Board recruitment without tying up senior staff and existing board members - adding capacity and expertise

  • Look beyond your immediate network - seeking Board members who are appropriately separate from the organisation and its funders

  • Mitigate against the risk of bias - ensuring the right people are selected, bringing a diversity of thought, perspective and experience to the Board

Our aim is to support you to ensure your approach to identifying and selecting Board members creates the conditions for Good Governance.
