We work across all areas of recruitment for the beyond profit sector, from Executive Search requirements for senior positions, to fundraising, operational and frontline staff working at the forefront of some of the biggest charities in the UK and worldwide. What makes us unique, and is essential to Prospectus’ culture and our success, is our non-commission salary policy.
