Our Services » Professional Membership Bodies
The not-for-profit sector is huge, ranging, quite literally from A to Z, or from arts through to zoos. Since we began in 1990, People Unlimited have realised that although each client is very different, there are common but specific areas that relate to Learned Societies, Professional and Trade Associations.
We are the only agency to set up a specialist division to recruit for such organisations and we have worked with some of the oldest and most prestigious societies, through to some of the newest and most niche of professional bodies.
Due to the success of our tailored services, Professional Membership Bodies make up some 35% of our client base. Current clients include well-known Trade Unions, Royal Colleges, Chartered Institutes, Learned Societies and Umbrella Bodies.
Our approach
We offer a comprehensive recruitment service with outstanding customer service, delivering the following:
- Understanding your organisation, its values and culture as well as the role you are recruiting for
- Advice on creating the job description and person specification
- Advertising the position
- Scoping potential candidates from our database
- Directly approaching passive candidates within our extensive professional network
- Interviewing and shortlisting applicants
- Reference checking
We recruit at all levels, from Directors through to junior roles, including specialist or academic as well as more generalist or office-based roles. We recruit permanent, interim and temporary positions and will work with you to find a solution that meets your needs without straining your budget.
So - whether you need a permanent committee secretary, a temp to help with examinations, an interim membership development specialist or a Permanent IT Director – why not see how our specialist team can help?

Testimonials
"Charity People is a highly creative and insightful recruitment specialist. I can always rely on high quality advice and excellent value for money when working with one of your consultants, particularly Julian Smith. The service provided by him is first class and highly professional."
Charlotte Pihlqvist, Royal College
"I have recruited staff through Charity People at 2 different organisations and having worked with numerous recruitment consultants, I have always found you to be one of the most effective and capable as well.
Your consultants, especially Julian Smith, spend time and effort making sure they really understand the needs and culture of the organisation as well as the job requirements, and select candidates that they think will be a good fit rather than just sending any CVs available.
Candidates always arrived for interviews well-briefed and with a good understanding of the job role. Julian is tenacious without being pushy, and provides both quality and value as a recruiter. I will certainly be contacting him and Charity People again with future vacancies!"
