Odgers Berndtson is the UK's leading executive search firm for senior appointments in not for profit and the public sector. Recruitment of permanent and interim staff is managed by our specialist search consultants, who combine unrivalled experience with national and international reach in all major sectors:

The challenge in public sector recruitment, charities and not for profit recruitment is in finding talented individuals who have the ability to develop and deliver quality services within an increasingly mixed economy. Our unique positioning enables us to find potential candidates from both private and public sector backgrounds.

Our function experts can advise on specific roles and our Interim Management and Select teams can help to fulfil temporary and middle management roles. Our assessment team also offers a wide range of assessment solutions.

Odgers Berndtson has been the public sector executive recruitment firm behind many high-profile appointments in central and local government, public administration, charities and not for profit right across the globe.

We understand the need for probity, integrity and transparency within the search process. We are used to operating at the highest level amidst public and media scrutiny. Our thorough approach embraces the principles of equality and diversity.
