PROUD TO HAVE PARTNERED WITH THESE LEADING ORGANISATIONS TO DELIVER RESULTS
"There are two things that stand out for me in my experience with Social Impact Careers. Firstly, they provided an insight into candidates that persuaded me to look at options that I might not have otherwise considered.
Lisa saw attributes of a candidate that were not immediately obvious and directed me to these attributes.
Secondly, she was flexible and accommodating of my availability, but in being flexible didn't allow the process to slip and risk losing candidates.
These two things, coupled with an understanding of the NGO sector, ultimately delivered an excellent outcome."
Brad W - CEO
"Social Impact Careers understood who we needed to join our senior management team and provided thorough and detailed support at each stage of the selection and recruitment process. They take the time to really get to know candidates, what motivates them and how they will 'fit'."

“What stood out in working with Social Impact Careers was their ability to challenge and refine our thinking. They didn’t just take the brief at face value, but helped us think more strategically about the role, which ultimately led to a far stronger appointment.”

"I have been fortunate in experiencing Lisa's recruitment style as a job seeker and as a customer. She forms a strong relationship bonds and it becomes very easy to trust.
I felt confident that she advocated positively for me during my job seeking experience and I was extremely pleased with the results she delivered in recruiting to a specialist role.
I highly recommend Lisa to anyone currently looking for your ideal role, and for any employer needing to fill key positions."
Eugene M - Director of Commissioning
Social Impact Careers made the hiring process genuinely easier. The candidates were not only highly capable, but deeply aligned to purpose-driven work — which is rare to find. Clear communication, strong understanding of the sector, and a focus on quality over volume. I’d absolutely partner with them again.
