NGO Recruit Partners

NGO Recruit Partners was founded in 2015 with a focus on recruitment for organisations working across the social impact and international development sector.

From those beginnings, the practice has grown beyond its African roots, supporting organisations and appointments across Africa, Europe, North America and other international markets.

We remain proud of being Africa's first Black-owned and managed executive search practice dedicated to the non-profit, sustainable development and social impact sector.

With offices in Cape Town and The Hague, our work and networks extend across international markets.

Who We Are


More than a decade of working with boards, executives and leadership teams has shaped how we work.

We have learned that a successful appointment begins long before candidates enter the conversation. Understanding the organisation, the context surrounding the role and what the person ultimately needs to achieve is fundamental to the search that follows.

Today, NGO Recruit Partners operates as a senior advisory search practice, partnering with foundations, non-profits and social impact organisations on important appointments and leadership decisions.

Our experience spans education, health, climate, gender equality, economic development, social inclusion and other areas of social and sustainable progress.

Making use of modern-day technology


In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we are breaking away from traditional recruitment methods where a client or a recruiter would travel hours to another location (sometimes in a different country) to hold recruitment meetings, or similarly, where a candidate would have to take time out to travel to different recruiters for registration purposes.

Making use of modern-day technology in recruitment and strategically placed floating consultants (who aren’t restricted to territorial locations) has allowed us to have wider reach and a global network of candidates. Using video conferencing for example, we have been able to land candidates for organizations all over the globe whilst saving our clients time and money and reducing the cost of having multiple office locations.

A digital revolution is changing the face of traditional recruitment! We’ve shifted to this 21st century ways of recruiting.
