I had the pleasure of working with Hannah Whittington from Harris Hill, who helped me find my new role. Hannah's been so helpful and genuinely lovely to work with. She has a great energy and is very proactive. Hannah really listened to what I was looking for in my next career move and delivered just that. I would highly recommend Hannah when to anyone looking for a new role in the charity sector!

Fantastic charity sector recruiter: very responsive, highest level of professionalism, supportive of candidates, thorough in both process and consideration, honest job adverts and they stick to advertised timetables and stages. As a client, the experience was very clear and very smooth. Thank you Aled, Frances and all the team at Harris Hill. I would absolutely recommend this recruiter to all charities and to all candidates looking for their next opportunity.

I've always known of Harris Hill as one of the leading names in fundraising recruitment, but never worked closely with them until my most recent job search. They matched me with the ideal role, and my recruiter, Hannah Laking, supported me through every step of the way in securing it. The agency's reputation is well-deserved.

Dagmara was my agent and she helped place me in a great position at a renowned UK children's Charity. The job is one I wouldn't have thought I would get but with her support and guidance we secured the position. Would recommend Dagmara as an amazing agent. She is professional and friendly, always a nice happy voice on the end of the phone.
