• Increasing competition for donor income
• Shifting funding streams and grant availability
• The growth of digital and community fundraising
• The need for measurable return on investment

A Tailored and Strategic Recruitment Process

Fundraising hires directly impact financial stability and service delivery.

Our recruitment process is designed to reduce hiring risk and secure candidates who can deliver measurable results.

We provide:

• Detailed stakeholder consultation
• Clear competency and income target mapping
• Targeted market search and headhunting
• Structured interview and assessment processes
• Transparent candidate insight and referencing
• Offer management and onboarding guidance

We do not rely solely on advertising. We combine proactive search with our established UK candidate network to identify experienced professionals who may not be actively seeking new roles.

Nationwide Charity Fundraising Recruitment

Since 2008, C2 Charity Recruitment has built a strong UK-wide network of fundraising professionals across London, Birmingham, Manchester and nationwide.

Our Charity Recruitment Agency supports both permanent and interim appointments, ensuring charities can access experienced talent quickly when income stability is critical.

This depth of network allows us to respond efficiently while maintaining quality and discretion.

Flexible Recruitment Solutions Built Around Your Charity

No two charities operate with the same fundraising model or growth strategy.

That is why we design tailored recruitment frameworks aligned to your size, structure and income objectives. Flexible fixed-fee options are available, providing clarity and control over recruitment budgets.
