A trusted recruitment partner to Global Witness
Our partnership with Global Witness has grown from an initial recruitment project into an established, long-term relationship with 14 successful appointments across the organisation.
We’ve recruited across an exceptionally broad range of specialisms, supporting teams working in campaigns, fossil fuels, project management, communications, philanthropy, events and other specialist areas. Each search has required us to understand not just the role, but the context around it: the team, the mission, the audience and the kind of person who will thrive within Global Witness.
Going beyond the obvious candidate pool
For an organisation tackling some of the world’s most complex environmental and human rights issues, finding brilliant people isn’t simply about advertising a vacancy and waiting for applications.
Our approach combines proactive search, extensive networking and inclusive candidate attraction to identify people beyond the traditional and obvious networks.
We work closely with hiring managers to understand what success really looks like, challenge assumptions where needed and build recruitment processes that are transparent, inclusive and human – giving candidates the opportunity to perform at their best.
14 appointments. Multiple teams. One trusted partnership.
What began as a recruitment brief has developed into a partnership built on trust, shared values and consistently delivering brilliant people.
For us, that’s what successful charity recruitment should look like: not simply filling vacancies, but becoming a recruitment partner that genuinely understands the organisation and can support it as its needs evolve.
The Global Witness team aren’t scared to try new things. They lean into innovation, collaboration and progressive hiring practices and spend a huge amount of time and energy making sure they get the process right. They provide a full, comprehensive brief, share thoughtful and human interview questions in advance, offer a variety of different interview times and hybrid models, create a welcoming and supportive interview environment, provide timely and comprehensive feedback and offer a second stage interview which gives the candidate room to interview the employer! This has created a hugely successful recruitment campaign for every single one of their vacancies.
“Thank you for all the excellent work you did with Global Witness to make us a better employer.”
