Charity/Not-for-Profit Senior Leadership Team & Executive Search

Excellent and I would strongly recommend Eastside People to anyone. The Eastside People team and Paul inspired confidence, listened attentively, understood and worked with us effectively. Quickly established an understanding and a rapport which enabled us to move forward effectively and with confidence.

I felt very confident with Eastside People's support throughout the process.

Extremely professional and supportive. Lucinda really listened to the approach we wanted to take as a Board of Trustees and guided us throughout the whole process. We really appreciated the clear and wise advice given to us and the great ideas on how to involve our wider team of stakeholders in the appointment process. I highly recommend Eastside People.

We had a really positive experience using Eastside People to recruit Trustees, we were supported throughout the process and got some fantastic candidates.

Marlijn helped us find our dream candidate, due to her dogged determination, fierce passion for the sector, and commitment to inclusive recruitment. She guided us through the process and took her time to understand our organisation and needs thoroughly, and kept us informed throughout the process.

When working with Renu I felt I was working with someone who really cared about finding us the right person and really understood our organisation. I also felt that she cared about her candidates too and presented a very balanced case for all of them. Overall I enjoyed working with Eastside People a lot and would totally recommend it as an agency who has the right balance between care for the client, access to good candidates and efficiency of whole process.

We have worked with Eastside People on both interim and permanent recruitment and have been really impressed with their service. They have been great at understanding our needs, finding high quality candidates and providing helpful guidance and advice along the way.

NOAH’s theory of change developed with Eastside People was instrumental within the development of our 5-year strategy. It has also been the cornerstone of our ongoing social impact analysis through which we hold ourselves accountable for making a genuine, quantifiable, and lasting difference.

We found Eastside People very helpful in the recruitment of our new CEO. Their advice was good, speed of turnaround was excellent with good support throughout the process. Very professional.

Eastside People has successfully recruited key roles within our charity which are crucial to our ongoing development and growth. Their professionalism, sector knowledge and expertise, as well as practical advice and guidance, ensured a successful and enjoyable recruitment experience for all. The team at Eastside People created a wonderful recruitment pack that gave insight and a window into who Wandsworth Oasis is and what we stand for. I know that helped attract the best candidates. Thank you EP!!

Nike (new CEO) is excellent and already making great progress with BSIR. We are delighted with her appointment!

I wanted to drop you a message to say thank you for reaching out on LinkedIn for the HFEH Mind trustee role and for your guidance through the process. I was offered the role yesterday, which is great news! Thanks.

We had been searching unsuccessfully for 2 years for a treasurer to join our Board. When we turned to Eastside People for help they understood our needs and quickly came to understand our organisation. They were outstandingly informative and pleasant to deal with. They found us a perfect treasurer. I would certainly recommend them.

This is definitely a service that we will use going forward. It is very useful to work with a specialist with our charity space. The understanding of our requirements and the importance of candidate-job fit is amplified when we know that our recruitment partner already knows our environment, but more importantly focuses on our specific needs as a client. I highly recommend EP.

I had never been interviewed by a recruiter before, and Janet Tapsell made a potentially nervous situation enjoyable and conversational, yet rightly challenging. She offered me genuine feedback on my abilities, presentational skills, attributes and areas of weakness. Sincere thanks and gratitude for her management, professionalism and the supportive culture she and Eastside People created.

Following a period of successful growth, MSF were faced with the challenge of replacing a highly experienced, long-standing CEO who relocated away from Malvern for family reasons. We asked Eastside People to take on a difficult recruitment brief to find a first class leader with strong strategic, operational and financial management experience, experience of working with children and families and/or people with disabilities, and a proven track record in fundraising. Not only did their specialist consultant Paul Venning find a great and varied shortlist, he also worked closely with two of our Trustees every step of the way, including accompanying them at shortlist candidates interviews in Malvern and onboarding the successful Chief Executive candidate.

Bernice was amazing in her support and professional advice to us to recruit new board members; she was insightful and made the whole process simple and clear. 

Highly professional and responsive with a really good grasp of who we are as an organisation and who we were hoping to recruit to our Board. Kept in touch throughout the campaign and helped to streamline the interview process for us. An excellent service which we will use again and would highly recommend to others. Thank you for helping us to recruit 2 excellent new trustees. 

Very Impressed. It was all we hoped for and more.
