Prospectus partnership

About prospectus

Prospectus has partnered with UKCF to provide advice, guidance and expertise to our members on recruiting and retaining diverse and talented team members.

Established for almost 70 years, Prospectus connects talented people with purpose-driven and not-for-profit organisations. The team recruits at every level from temporary to permanent roles across marketing, fundraising and all other functional specialisms through to Chief Executive and Board roles.

Community foundation experts

Prospectus has been placing talent in community foundations since 1999. Its experienced team has a wealth of knowledge, experience and networks to deliver successful appointments.

They have worked with 19 different community foundations across the UK, made over 233 appointments and have placed 15 chief executives, 31 directors and 187 junior roles.

Non-commission recruitment

Essential to Prospectus’ culture and success is its non-commission salary policy. This means consultants genuinely collaborate to the benefit of clients and candidates alike – sharing their knowledge, experience and extensive individual networks across the not-for-profit, public and private sectors.

The UK’s first B-Corp recruitment agency

Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balance purpose and profit. Prospectus is legally required to consider the impact of any decisions on its workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment – using business as a force for good.

Providing advice and resources

Prospectus has partnered with us to be an exclusive point of knowledge and advice for our members on recruitment, advertising, human resources and other key aspects of staff hiring and retention.  This collaboration has been a welcome source of knowledge for our membership of over 1,00 staff and trustees based all over the UK.
