OUR SERVICES
Discover the specialist service that we provide to our clients
Action Appointments provides a unique specialist recruitment service, assisting nonprofit clients to source the perfect candidates. Our skilled and experienced team take responsibility for the process from advertising to appointment.
Expert 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.

"I would highly recommend Action Appointments. I really appreciated the time they saved us by managing the CV screening and shortlisting process.
They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and presented us with a strong selection of suitable candidates. Their support in coordinating interviews and communicating with candidates was incredibly helpful and made the entire process smooth and efficient.
We were able to successfully appoint a strong candidate, and the overall experience was professional and easy to manage. I would definitely use their services again."
