Senior Recruitment in the Irish Not-For-Profit Sector on the Rise

Recruitment for senior roles in the Irish not-for-profit sector has seen a significant rise over the last year.

In our Quarterly Recruitment Monitor for Q1 2019, 2into3’s Recruitment Team identified 108 senior or management roles advertised in the first three months of the year, a 30% increase on the same period in 2018.

Other significant developments identified by the analysis include a significant increase in Service Delivery & Operational roles, up from 19 in Q1 2018 to 43 in Q1 2019.

Commenting on the results of the analysis, Fergal O’Sullivan, Head of Recruitment with 2into3 said: “The continued increase in the number of management roles being advertised, especially the year-on-year increase in Q1, is evidence of a sector that is not only recovering strongly, but is becoming more professional with each passing quarter. The public demand for well-managed charities with a professional approach to good governance is being addressed by this search for strong leadership.”

The Quarterly Recruitment Monitor is now entering its third year and it has found that for eight consecutive quarters, social services organisations are the most active recruiters in the sector. The Monitor is a free-to access publication and you can download a full version of the report here.
