CCI Executive Search is a specialist recruitment consultancy offering a bespoke service to charities, arts, cultural, educational, social enterprise and all not-for-profit organisations throughout Ireland, helping them find and recruit great staff.

Founded by leading charity experts Mary O’Kennedy and Bruce Tait, CCI knows that the best people to recruit for charities are people that have extensive charity experience themselves.

At CCI, we understand that the not-for-profit sector in Ireland has its own unique opportunities and challenges and that a recruitment campaign must be tailored to suit these. Our experience gives us insights into the differences between small and large not-for-profit organisations, different roles and different sectors within the not-for-profit world. 

Our team has senior-level experience of working for not-for-profit organisations in Ireland. That’s where our passion for the sector comes from.  That’s what helps us excel at recruiting. That’s what makes us the best at what we do. 

We combine our extensive experience working within Ireland's not-for-profit sector with over a decade of recruitment experience. Our team has recruited for dozens of posts for charities and not-for-profits, including Chief Executives, Fundraisers, Service Managers and Finance/Administration posts.

Working with CCI to recruit our Head of Fundraising was a great success for the Irish Wheelchair Association. CCI were very thorough in narrowing down exactly what we were looking for and they presented us with a shortlist of high calibre candidates to consider. Their team was highly professional and personable, communication was always prompt and we found their expertise to be a valued resource. Their commitment to complete customer satisfaction was standout and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other not for profit organisations.
