We really know fundraisers and talk to hundreds of them each week
We go through interviews with every candidate we meet, and this is a snippet of the kind of things we talk about
Experience – we have successfully recruited specialist charity employees since 1996 and our own staff tend to stay with the company for a long time, giving us a depth of knowledge of the sector.
Expertise – our internal teams are divided up by specialisms, so our fundraising team only recruits fundraising staff. This gives our consultants a unique insight into both what our clients need and what is likely to motivate candidates.
Ethics – TPP is REC Audited, which demonstrates our adherence to the highest standards in recruitment. We also have our ‘TPP Giving Back’ programme, which aims to support the sector through a whole range of free services.
Support the sector through ‘TPP Giving Back’:
£100 CPD voucher to spend with the IoF

Think of a couple of things and write down on your notes
Ask people to read out their answers
Performance to target:
Did you achieve your target?
Did you exceed it? By what %?
How did you perform year-on-year?
Get it from your line manager
If they are reluctant to share, or you only have group target, you can still track your individual income generation and % contribution
