Public Sector & Not for Profit
The public & not for profit sector makes decisions that affect all of our lives - usually in full view of public scrutiny. For trustees, committees and boards tasked with securing top talent to lead their organizations, professional search is crucial to success.
Odgers Berndtson has been the search organization behind many high-profile appointments in public administration, central and local government, culture, arts, sports, charity and human services - right across the globe. The unique requirements of these positions, the publicity attached to many of the appointments and the profile of potential candidates, often requires a subtlety of approach not fully understood by the uninitiated.
Working with our function experts, Odgers Berndtson's Public Sector & Not for Profit Practice is proud of its longstanding relationship with many of the world's finest not-for-profit organizations.
Deep international experience in 24 countries includes:
- Associations
- Charitable/human services

- Education
- Government/public administration
- Local government
