Government and Non-Profit
A sector in transition
Senior roles in public service, or roles which require the ability to shape or deliver public policy, represent a consistently rewarding recruitment challenge, and one in which A.T. Kearney Executive Search excels.
Our work focuses on the recruitment of Chief Executives and executive directors across the sector:
• Central Government• Government agencies and regulatory authorities
• Regional and Local Government
• Healthcare services
• Trade, professional and representative bodies
• Charities and voluntary organisations
We also frequently advise on chair, non-executive director and other board appointments such as trustees and lay members.
Breaking the mould
Many government and non-profit organisations operate differently from the commercial sector, and the successful candidate’s portfolio of management skills and professional knowledge must reflect these differences.
However, it is wrong to assume that senior roles in these sectors only suit a small, already known cadre of candidates. In fact, we are committed to broadening the field of candidates, and to ensuring that our clients have the widest and most diverse choice when making an appointment.
Such jobs, often international in their outlook, provide an opportunity to offer different skills, knowledge and experience at a senior level, and enable candidates from non-traditional backgrounds – perhaps in business or their professions – to make their contribution in a new sector.
The team at A.T. Kearney Executive Search knows how important it is to understand our clients’ real needs. We will question the status quo and come up with practical, imaginative answers, and settle for nothing but the highest standards.
