Our service 

We work closely with you every step of the way:  

Step 1 - Briefing 

Your consultant will take a complete brief to understand your needs and give advice if required. This briefing process will cover: 

  • the skills you need  
  • any  diversity gaps in your Board 
  • your priorities when selecting candidates 
  • your organisation's strategy  
  • the current Board composition and dynamics.  

Step 2 – Recruitment preparation 

We will prepare and agree all the key materials and information with you including role profiles, search criteria, a recruitment schedule and a recruitment pack.  

Step 3 – Search 

We then get to work to identify potential candidates through a comprehensive and targeted search, making proactive approaches to potential candidates.  Reaching way beyond the usual charity networks, we use: 

  • the extensive networks built by our experienced consultants  
  • our unique access to the Reach community 
  • commercial tools including LinkedIn Talent Solutions. 

Step 4 –  Shortlisting 

We then present a shortlist of relevant, engaged candidates, as well as offering support with selection, interviewing and onboarding if required.
