Not-For-Profit Sector Recruitment Success Stories
  • Strategic Growth Through Inclusive Leadership Hiring
    Following the Covid-19 pandemic, a regulated body with not-for-profit status in the healthcare sector engaged Clearwater on an exclusive basis to support the expansion of its IT and Data leadership team. Tasked directly by the CTO, the organisation sought a partner that could not only deliver high-calibre leadership talent, but also improve representation within the function.
    Clearwater led a tailored exclusive search strategy, conducting market mapping and targeted headhunting to identify candidates aligned with both technical needs and cultural values. Clearwater successfully placed senior hires will a 100% fill rate of all vacancies and over over 70% from underrepresented backgrounds, directly contributing to the organisation's goals.
    A placed Lead Data Scientist praised the experience, citing:
    "This is my best interview experience so far. Excellent communication and demonstration of high-level professionalism."
  • Delivering Talent for Complex Programme Needs
    ​A major charitable organisation engaged Clearwater to support the recruitment for new programme initiatives. With complex delivery milestones, the organisation required a partner who could quickly understand the intricacies of each initiative.
    Clearwater's Director of Client Services held multiple in-depth meetings with the CTO and Head of Technical Delivery, to gain a clear understanding of programme structures, timelines, and success criteria. This consultative approach enabled Clearwater to swiftly identify and deploy skilled contract professionals who aligned with both the technical requirements and the broader business objectives.
    The charity shared a testimonial:
    “Clearwater are a really friendly and helpful agency to work alongside. They supply us with good quality candidates that meet the Manager’s brief and requirements. Clearwater have helped us recruit staff very quickly which enables us to maintain momentum on strategic projects. They really understand our organisation and know the type of people that will work well here.”
