Our Perspective

What tends to go wrong

In many charities and social enterprises, the same issues keep slowing things down: recruitment takes too long, managers are left to carry too much, and teams lose confidence when decisions are delayed.

Kelloch focuses on those pressure points so leaders can make sound decisions earlier, protect staff time, and keep delivery moving.

How we work

Systems. Governance. People.

We look at how your funding, your board, and your team work together — or where they clash.

Our approach links your people strategy to your governance reality. We help you identify the structural risks and leadership gaps that cause delayed hires, stuck teams, and delivery strain.

Diagnose

Naming the friction and identifying leadership gaps before they become crises.

We work with charities and social enterprises of all sizes. This case study shows how our flat-fee search and sector insight can unblock a difficult hiring situation faster than traditional advertising.

Case Study

Rapid Recruitment for a Mental Health Charity

Challenge

A medium-sized Scottish mental health charity needed a Service Manager to lead a new outreach programme, after struggling twice to hire through open advertising alone. The board was concerned about delays to service launch and the risk of losing grant funding.

Our Approach

  • Ran a flat-fee search, promoting the role across targeted third sector channels.
  • Used our 25+ years of sector experience to shape an inclusive job description that spoke directly to candidates with lived experience.
  • Delivered a shortlist within 10 working days, with weekly progress updates to trustees.

Impact

  • Post filled within a month, ahead of funder deadlines.
  • £4,200 saved compared to agency percentage fees.
  • Retention success: candidate still in role after 9 months, with positive feedback from service users and the leadership team.

"Kelloch understood our pressures and gave us exactly what we needed — speed, transparency, and a candidate who has already made a real difference."
