Recruitment for charity appointments for senior individuals within the Not for Profit sector, foundations and international NGOs is very specialised work. Any charity is increasingly being seen as a service provider, often developing its own revenue streams alongside traditional philanthropic pursuits, this is particularly the case for of any NGO.
