Finn Clancy Portrait

Targeted recruitment and talent consulting for the EA and social impact sectors.

I partner directly with founders, leadership and operations teams to hire exceptional talent. By capping my active workload to a handful of projects at a time, I ensure dedicated operational attention to every search.

As a co-founder of Altruistic Careers, I spent years building specialized talent pipelines for the impact ecosystem, working with organisations such as Longview Philanthropy, The Good Food Institute, and Good Impressions. Today, I work entirely independently across both technical and operational tracks to help teams secure high-quality talent without the high-volume fluff of traditional recruitment agencies.

Organisations I've worked with

Hiring takes an immense amount of leadership bandwidth. Traditional recruitment agencies often compound this problem by flooding your inbox with generic CVs, hoping something sticks.

I use my expertise to protect your time, running low-volume, high-fidelity processes designed to save you critical bandwidth while ensuring you successfully secure and on-board high-quality, value aligned candidates. You can engage me for full lifecycle searches, or bring me in to unblock specific talent bottlenecks:

Full-Cycle Search & Placement
Managing the entire pipeline from initial role-scoping and passive candidate sourcing through to screening, in-depth evaluation, and final offers.
Targeted Sourcing & Screening
Building a high-fidelity pipeline of thoroughly vetted candidates for teams that have the internal capacity to interview but lack the time to source.
Advanced Evaluation Design
Designing and assessing rigorous, bias-free evaluation stages - including custom work sample tests - to ensure candidate capability before they reach your team.
Recruitment Consulting
Strategic advisory sessions for founders looking to optimise their internal hiring setups, structure compensation, or improve candidate conversion.

Instead of applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all agency playbook, I provide a fully tailored service built around your organisation’s specific constraints, culture, and timeline. Drawing on hands-on expertise across every stage of the recruitment lifecycle, from initial role profiling to final offer negotiations, I adapt my process to match exactly what your team needs.

Being deeply embedded within the ecosystem, I don't just rely on passive job boards. I combine active talent mapping and targeted direct outreach with peer networks to uncover individuals who bring both exceptional capability and value alignment. Whether handling active sourcing, thorough vetting, or implementing entire hiring rounds, I adapt to the unique needs of your organisation, significantly cutting down your team's time-to-hire while ensuring you secure the best possible candidate for the position.
