Passionate about people. Dedicated to purpose.

Recruitment specialists for the purpose-led sector — championing organisations that make a difference for people, planet and animals.

At Longmire Recruitment, with decades of relationship-driven expertise and the most advanced AI tools available, we connect purpose-driven professionals with mission-led organisations where values truly align. Because when they do, great things happen!

We work with charities, non-profits, social enterprises and purpose-led businesses across the UK and internationally — placing professionals in roles that shape how organisations engage, influence and make their mark on the world.  We recruit across the full spectrum — from officer level roles through to executive leadership appointments.

Where we are strongest

External affairs and communications — spanning policy, public affairs, campaigns, press & media and marketing — the disciplines at the heart of every organisation trying to create change.

Science, research and funding — research roles, scientific appointments and grant funding positions for health and research organisations.

Fundraising — connecting exceptional fundraisers with organisations whose causes deserve the most talented applicants.

Whatever you need — a single transformational hire, a high-performing team, or an executive leader to shape your future — our approach is always the same: genuine care, deep expertise, and the smartest tools available to find the best talent.

For our clients: we become a trusted partner in your mission — taking the time to truly understand your organisation, your culture and the difference you are trying to make in the world, so every hire moves you closer to it.

For our candidates: at a time where you may feel lost in automated recruitment processes, we do things differently. Every person we work with receives genuine support. Whether you are taking your next step or making a life-changing move into the purpose-led sector, you can rely on a real person in your corner.

Testimonials

“Sonya was brilliant throughout the whole process. Just when I was losing hope of a career change Sonya came knocking with a wonderful opportunity that suited me perfectly, she was very professional and communicated well during the application process as well as the interview stage. She helped me through the application, making sure I was covering the right areas of the role, and gave me great advise for the interview as it had been many years since I last attended one. She was a complete pleasure to work for and I cannot thank her enough. She even called me after I got the role to see how I was getting on. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you!”

“Thanks to Sonya I have landed my dream job. Sounds corny, but it’s true. She contacted my via LinkedIn having seen my profile (who knew LinkedIn actually worked so well? I certainly didn’t), and was encouraging and supportive throughout the whole process. The role was a step up from what I was currently doing and Sonya gave me the confidence to go for it, and provided useful guidance on how to make the most of the experience I did have. She was professional, friendly and attentive throughout, and I am so grateful that she found me for this position. I am loving my new job and couldn’t be happier in my work!”
