“Over the last 18 months, Butterfly Foundation in partnership with NGO Recruitment has recruited 13 positions across Australia from our Clinical Director and Head of Finance to our National Philanthropy Manager. These positions have been due to the internal growth required to meet the needs of those who we represent. Despite the challenges of COVID-19 and alike, I have found working with NGO Recruitment to be an excellent experience. As always, some roles were easy to find, some much harder. NGO Recruitment always works to understand what is needed for a role, what is unique and what would fit with our culture.”
