What others say about us

Jackie was immensely helpful in leading a strategic review of our governance and the subsequent recruitment of three Trustees, who perfectly matched the responsibilities we were looking to fill

Jackie is a listener. She paid particular attention to what we told her about the ‘culture’ of our organisation, then set about pairing us with those who have the right blend of skills, knowledge, experience and importantly, attitude to help us thrive. We were delighted with the results and the appointment was easy. I’d recommend Jackie highly, whether you’re a small or large organisation and whichever sector you work in

Jackie provided us with invaluable support in our journey to recruit new trustees for our growing charity. The process was simple, straightforward, and supportive and enabled Devon Mind to cast its net wider to prospective trustees, than we could have potentially achieved on our own

Jackie consistently delivers, having led the recruitment for several of our trustees. Her friendly professionalism, specialist experience and wealth of contacts enable her to represent our charity perfectly. Her understanding of Read for Good is invaluable – effectively presenting our approach, culture and impact as a small, national charity that punches above our weight to potential candidates. A focused approach is always enthusiastically and reliably delivered. Shine Charity Recruitment has, over time, advised us in the recruitment of our Chair, Treasurer and more recently, the exciting appointment of a young trustee, understanding the need for the all-important ‘fit’ and as a result finding candidates with the right skills, calibre and commitment.
