About us
Who we are
QuarterFive specialise in recruiting to fundraising roles of all types and at every level. We’ll help you find a new job in an efficient, supportive and professional way, saving you time and stress by helping you be at your best and doing things that give you an edge in your job search. Whether you spend your days writing bids, engaging companies, cultivating the wealthy, organising events, creating direct marketing campaigns, mobilising community groups, promoting legacies or leading fundraising teams, we’ll understand what you do and be able to advise you on your requirements.
Our culture and values
Ensure you hear about jobs relevant to your interests and experience. Our knowledge of your interests and career goals is what shapes the way we work with you. When you register with us we’ll take the time to discuss what you want, and ensure we run jobs past you that fit your brief.
Make you aware of opportunities not publicly advertised. Charities talk to us about their plans to expand teams, replace departing staff, or restructure. We’re their direct link to the people they need, and your source of information about what charities are doing. We will let you know first when exciting opportunities are coming up.
Give you a proper brief that tells you what employers are really looking for. We talk to our clients about their vacancies and translate this information into clear explanations of what you need to demonstrate in order to get the job. We tell you about the context and challenges of a role, and the skills and personal approach it demands.
Help you write the best CV or application form possible. A CV or application that clearly shows the skills and qualities required for a job is essential. We’ll help you write a CV that highlights key experience and draws out what hiring managers are looking for. We’ve seen thousands in our time, and know what works well.
Make sure you go into an interview knowing exactly what to do. Interviews are tough, but we love them. We can prepare you for difficult questions, ensure you know what an employer is really looking for, and help you present your strengths and weaknesses in the most effective way possible.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
QuarterFive and our clients know fundraising could better reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the people the charity sector supports. We encourage individuals with relevant skills and experience to apply for roles regardless of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief. If you think you meet some of the criteria for a role and would like to discuss how your other experience might transfer, please ask us for a chat. We’re here to support you. Appointments will be made on merit alone and we will gladly make reasonable adjustments to always ensure a fair process.
