Hiring should not feel like guesswork, inflated commission or unnecessary faff. We help charities and social enterprises hire well with clear costs, sensible process and candidates who fit.
Percentage fees distort cost. Boards need clarity. Timelines drift. And the sector ends up paying more for a process that often feels less useful than it should.
We built Kelloch recruitment to provide a simpler, more predictable alternative. We focus on the things that actually matter: clear communication, board-ready reporting, and finding candidates who understand the sector's unique pressures. No recruitment theatre—just sensible help to get the right person in the seat.
Significantly lower than traditional agency commissions. No VAT payable.
Looking to explore permission-led talent before commissioning a search? Join our network to browse pre-screened profiles at no cost.
We start by agreeing the outcomes you need, the budget you have, and the values that matter most.
We don't just wait for applications—we activate our networks and use sector-specific channels to find the right fit.
Delivered in around 10 days. These aren't just names; they are fully screened, values-aligned candidates.
From assurance notes for your board to onboarding guidance, we make sure the hire sticks.
This works best when the process is simple, the cost is clear, and the fit is right.
Kelloch understood our pressures and gave us exactly what we needed — speed, transparency, and a candidate who has already made a real difference.
The flat-fee model made it easy for our board to approve. We had a shortlist within 8 days and the whole process was refreshingly straightforward.
10 days is our typical shortlist time, but it's not a hard deadline. If we need more time to find the right fit, we’ll extend the search at no extra cost. We never rush a placement—match quality and sector fit come first.
If your new hire leaves within 30 days for any reason, we re-run the search for free. We stand by our work and want to make sure you have the right leader for the long term.
Yes. While our roots are in Scotland, we recruit UK-wide and have successfully placed candidates for organisations across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
We specialise in leadership and operational roles within charities and social enterprises — CEOs, Directors, Service Managers, Programme Leads, and similar. If you're unsure whether your role fits, just ask.
Percentage commissions are expensive and often unnecessary. Our flat-fee model gives you cost certainty upfront, which makes it much easier for boards to approve and ensures you're paying for a sensible process, not an inflated agency fee.
