Dan contacted us to offer his support in filling our vacancy for a new role in Doctors of the World: Digital Fundraising Manager. We had been unsuccessful in filling the role through our own channels and needed agency support to reach the best candidates. Dan took the time to talk through our requirements and fully understand the organisation and sort of person we would need for the role. We were under quite a constraint to fill the post and Dan was able to quickly identify some strong candidates for shortlisting. The profiles of the candidates sent were in line with our expectations. Dan was quick to respond to any questions we had and to make arrangements for interview, communicating well with candidates and ourselves to make it proceed smoothly. It was a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Dan if we are recruiting in the future.

Dan found a Digital Information and Support Manager for Lymphoma Action. He had seen that I was advertising the position and, having secured a similar helpline role for the MS Society, he knew that Understanding Recruitment could add value to this process. Dan took the time to get to know our organisation and understand the role, and he had frequent communication with myself and the senior recruiting manager. We were happy that UR were to be the sole agency working on this role for us. Throughout the recruitment process Dan acted as an excellent conduit of information between ourselves and the candidates he put forward, providing two-way feedback following the interviews. When we offered the position to the successful candidate, I felt that we already knew a great deal about her from Dan’s dealings with her prior to the interview. Dan was also willing to do some additional work for me with regards to references, following the appointment. Our new Information and Support Manager has settled into the role really well and will prove to be a great asset to the charity.

Dan was able to help us fill a UX/UI Designer role which is a difficult role to recruit to in the charity sector. He understood our needs and put forward a variety of candidates for the role, which resulted in us making a great appointment.

I was so impressed with Harry's approach to the recruitment process for my current role. From beginning to end he went out of his way to make sure I had a clear understanding of the role and the charity, and kept me regularly updated throughout the process. He was great at communicating, from the easier conversations around what the role and interview process entailed, to the trickier ones where there were areas I could improve on. I really appreciated his guidance and expertise throughout, and have no doubt that he will go far as a Data/Digital recruiter. Thanks again for all your support Harry!
