Entire Recruitment Service
We like to cast a wide net: advertising extensively; drawing on our comprehensive database of experienced development professionals; and actively headhunting using our well-established networks. This approach enables us to source suitable candidates quickly and effectively.
We work on full-time, short term and contract placements from administrative to executive level. If you need to fill an important vacancy at any level, Action Appointments can help you find top quality staff.
Our 30+ year success can be attributed to our deep understanding of the sector, our commitment to the missions and needs of nonprofit organisations, our dedicated streamlined process, and our close engagement with our clients.
Our commitment further translates to a sensitivity to the financial constraints facing most of our clients. We keep our placement fees as low as possible, offering generous discounts for bulk placements. We are always willing to negotiate in an attempt to accommodate those organisations who need our services but cannot afford them.

Candidate Verification
Are you recruiting for a key post but don’t have the budget to outsource the entire recruitment process? Or perhaps you manage your own recruitment through your internal HR team but find the final candidate checks time-consuming or challenging?
In addition to our full-process recruitment, Action Appointments now offers Candidate Verification – a flexible solution designed to support organisations managing their own hiring and still needing independent expert support to fully verify shortlisted or preferred candidates. Whether you're working with limited resources or simply wish to outsource this final but critical step, we can help you make informed and confident hiring decisions.
As part of the service, Action Appointments will:
01
Conduct searches to verify the candidate’s employment history
02
Scrutinise social media platforms to get a fuller sense of the candidate’s profile
03
Validate all referees provided by the candidate
04
Develop tailored reference templates and liaise directly with referees
05
Commission credit, qualification, and criminal checks through a licensed provider
06
Perform any necessary follow-up verification to support your decision-making
07
Connect you to our accredited psychometric tester
Fees for this essential service are based on the salary of the candidate being checked.
Let Action Appointments give you peace of mind by managing the verification process for you — thoroughly, professionally and discreetly.
