Online trustee recruitment service launches

Governance | Vibeka Mair | 6 Nov 2009

An online trustee recruitment service for charities to find effective board members has been launched by NCVO, Bates Wells and Braithwaite and interim manager recruitment firm Russam GMS.

Trustees Unlimited will charge charities a tailored price based on their annual income for an in-depth trustee recruitment process which will include a meeting with the charity board to find out what kind of candidates are needed. It aims to deliver a shortlist to clients within ten days.

Charities with incomes under £500,000 will be charged £3,000; those with incomes between £500,000 and £5m will be charged £4,000, and those incomes of over £5m will be charged £5,000.

An enhanced services, including a strategic trustee induction run by BWB and NCVO, is £500 extra.

Ben Kernighan (pictured), deputy chief executive at NCVO, said the service will help charities struggling to find trustees with the right skills.

“As many organisations in the sector face tough times, the role of trustees has never been more important. Trustees Unlimited will play an important role in helping organisations recruit the trustees that are right for them. Having the right trustees can make the difference between an organisation flourishing or failing.”
