Written and supported by Gundersen Bucher Rugman as
part of our Essential Guides collection, this guide aims to
give you the tools to recruit a Chief Executive, Chair or a
Trustee in the voluntary sector by providing a basic guide to aid you in the process
The success of any organisation depends to a great extent on the Chief Executive and Chair and this is certainly the case in the voluntary sector. Individual trustees also play an important role, not least because is usually the board of Trustees which appoints the Chair and Chief Executive when the time comes.
While the voluntary sector is fortunate to have many able and experienced trustees, few will have been involved in recruiting and appointing a Chief Executive in this context. Recruitment processes vary widely. In the commercial sector the recruitment decision often rests with one person and process may be carried out in virtual secrecy.
In the public sector it can be a very lengthy process, involving the participation of many stakeholders and using complex interview / selection protocols developed over many years to suit a special culture. Neither of these models is necessarily appropriate in the voluntary sector.
