Case Study

Rapid Recruitment for a Mental Health Charity

Challenge

A medium-sized Scottish mental health charity needed a Service Manager to lead a new outreach programme, after struggling twice to hire through open advertising alone. The board was concerned about delays to service launch and the risk of losing grant funding.

Our Approach

  • Ran a flat-fee search, promoting the role across targeted third sector channels.
  • Used our 20+ years of sector experience to shape an inclusive job description that spoke directly to candidates with lived experience.
  • Delivered a shortlist within 10 working days, with weekly progress updates to trustees.

Impact

  • Post filled within a month, ahead of funder deadlines.
  • £4,200 saved compared to agency percentage fees.
  • Retention success: candidate still in role after 9 months, with positive feedback from service users and the leadership team.

"Kelloch understood our pressures and gave us exactly what we needed — speed, transparency, and a candidate who has already made a real difference."
