Premium Board Search

As well as our free website service, we offer a Premium Search service to help find the perfect candidate for your board or committee.

Premium Search is a fully managed, bespoke and independent board recruitment service for charities and not for profits – We take on the heavy lifting so you can focus on leading your organisation.

How it works

For Not-For-Profits and Charities who are seeking new members for their boards, our Premium Search Team is here to assist with every step in the board recruitment process.

 

Draft Criteria

Discuss the skill requirements based on a Skills Audit, approve role specs, and agree on recruitment process.

Identify the Candidates

The Premium Search Team will headhunt candidates which meet the brief in full, and compile a shortlist of quality candidates.

 

Shortlist

The Premium Search Team will send over the CVs of shortlisted candidates. We will brief both the candidates and organisation on due diligence and interview tips.

Successful Candidate

The Premium Search Team arranges interviews and then the organisation chooses their new board or committee member.

Deirdre Garvey, CEO, The Wheel

"I've long been a champion of Boardmatch, and I have now used their Executive Search offering twice over the last two years. On both occasions it was a really excellent service, professionally delivered and produced excellent candidates for the board Chair and myself to meet. I'll definitely be using it again as it really saved me, as CEO, a lot of work."

Deirdre Mortell, CEO, Rethink Ireland

"The Boardmatch search found us 2 excellent candidates and we asked them both to join the Board: a great outcome. I highly recommend this process!"

Kathrina Bentley, CEO, Mens Aid Ireland 

"We are delighted with the high calibre of candidates we reviewed and consider our organisation very lucky to be welcoming such great experience and professionalism to our Board. The process was seamless and would highly recommend for our NGO sector."
