Our Approach to Executive Search and Recruitment

Explore: We gain a thorough understanding of your brand’s purpose, mission and values alongside the requirements for the role and what success and challenges look like. This allows us to understand your talent needs whilst also creating an engaging and relevant job narrative that candidates can readily connect with.

Reach: We’ll act as a trusted extension of your team, representing your brand and bringing the opportunity to life, ensuring candidates build a clear picture of the role and organisation, how expectations align and how mutual value-add can be created.

Engage: We’ll work together to appoint candidates who strongly align with your values and goals, those with the skills and experience equipped for now and the future, and will ensure all candidates can demonstrate their experience and insight through a robust, fair and inclusive recruitment journey.

If there is an appointment we can help you with or you would like to have a conversation about a particular piece of support you require, please get in touch.

Ami started People Beyond Profit because she saw a need for a recruitment model to not simply support purpose-led organisations with high quality talent, but to create a business that proactively committed to its values by investing profits back into leadership programmes that make a social impact.

Ami bring two decades of executive search and recruitment experience where she has delivered complex searches, serving as a trusted advisor to foundations, social enterprises, charities and other purpose-led organisations operating at local, regional, national and international level.  She has developed particular insight into the philanthropic/grant-making sector, building a strong understanding of their unique and diverse challenges and leadership required.  


Ami takes pride in her ability to develop long term client and candidate relationships built on trust, transparency and a genuine interest in finding the best and most effective talent to ensure mutual success and impact. Providing excellent customer service to create a smooth and engaging search journey for both client and candidate is important to her - demonstrated through her exemplary track record of appointed candidates successfully retaining their roles for many years and clients returning for repeat business. 

Ami proactively considers how values-based selection techniques can help provide insight and ensure mutual alignment between a candidate and an organisation, highlighting skills and experience whilst also importantly exploring their future potential. She has also partnered with clients to ensure the search process is diverse, inclusive and equitable, oftentimes thinking creatively and looking beyond the obvious for true talent. This has led to some extremely rewarding work with incredible and inspiring clients and candidates alike.
