A detailed look at how Brannigans supported Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust in recruiting for critical leadership roles.

Recruiting the right talent for a not-for-profit organisation goes beyond filling positions. It’s about finding individuals who truly align with your mission, share your values, and can make a significant impact. This is a challenge that many not-for-profits face, including Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust, who recently partnered with Brannigans to recruit for two critical roles: a Partnerships Manager and a new Chairperson.

The Challenge:

Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust had been managing the recruitment process internally, but they found it time-consuming, administratively heavy, and frustrating. After struggling to fill the Chairperson role for over a year, they reached out to Brannigans for expert guidance. They needed a recruitment partner who understood the unique needs of the not-for-profit sector and could help streamline the process.

The Brannigans Solution:

Brannigans took a tailored approach to meet the Trust’s specific needs. From drafting job descriptions and screening candidates to managing interviews, we ensured a seamless, efficient recruitment process. Our team worked as an extension of the Trust, understanding their culture and challenges and delivering a solution that aligned with their values.

What the Client Said:

Maree Burnett, General Manager – Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust:
“Brannigans understood the unique needs of our sector and worked seamlessly with us, becoming trusted advisors.”

David Miller, Trustee – Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust:
“They brought professionalism, efficiency, and access to candidates we wouldn’t have found on our own. Their tailored approach was exactly what we needed.”

Key Results:

  • Time saved: Brannigans streamlined the entire process, allowing the Trust to focus on what matters most — their mission.
  • Access to top talent: With Brannigans’ extensive network and industry insights, the Trust was able to tap into a pool of candidates they would not have been able to access on their own.
  • Right fit: Through our tailored approach, the Trust was able to find the right people for both the Partnerships Manager and Chairperson roles, ensuring a strong leadership team to drive their initiatives forward.

Conclusion:

For not-for-profits looking to save time, reduce stress, and find the best talent, Brannigans is more than just a recruitment partner. We are a strategic ally that truly understands the unique needs of New Zealand’s not-for-profit sector.

If you’re looking to recruit for purpose-driven roles in your organisation, Brannigans can help you find the right people who will make a real impact.
