Nexilis HR Consultancy Cardiff, Solutions, Outsourced HR Services for Charities

HR-Led Recruitment Support for Charities

Recruitment does not have to be stressful, expensive or difficult to manage.

Nexilis HR Solutions provides flexible recruitment support for charities and social enterprises across Cardiff, South Wales and the UK. We can manage the full recruitment process for you or support the stages where you need extra help.

We are not a traditional recruitment agency. We are HR professionals who help charities recruit employees and volunteers through fair, structured and safer recruitment processes.

Our focus is simple: helping you attract, assess and appoint the right people through a process that is clear, compliant and aligned with your organisation’s values.

Nexilis HR does not work on placement fees or commission.

 

Our recruitment support is transparent, flexible and designed around what your charity actually needs. You can choose support for one stage of the process or outsource the full recruitment journey to us.

We help you recruit fairly, safely and confidently without unnecessary pressure or complexity.

Recruiting for Your Charity Just Got Easier

Finding the right employees or volunteers can take time. It can also place pressure on already busy teams.

Nexilis HR helps make recruitment more organised, more consistent and easier to evidence. Whether you are recruiting one volunteer, a new employee or a senior role, we provide practical support from role design through to onboarding.

We can help with:

  • Employee recruitment
  • Volunteer recruitment
  • Safer recruitment processes
  • Job adverts and advertising
  • Candidate and volunteer sourcing
  • Application screening
  • Interview support
  • Offers, checks and onboarding
 
 

Our Recruitment Process:

Step 1: Understanding the Role

We start by getting to know your charity, the role you are recruiting for and the type of person you need.

This can include:

  • A recruitment briefing call
  • Reviewing the role and responsibilities
  • Developing or updating the role description
  • Creating a person specification
  • Identifying safer recruitment requirements
  • Agreeing the recruitment stages
  • Setting up an applicant tracking process, where required

Step 2: Advertising the Role

A strong advert helps you reach the right people and improve the quality of applications.

We can support with:

  • Writing clear, engaging job adverts
  • Creating volunteer opportunity adverts
  • Using keyword-optimised wording to improve reach
  • Posting roles across relevant job boards
  • Improving visibility for charity vacancies
  • Supporting targeted searches where needed

Step 3: Screening Applications

Application screening can take valuable time. We help make the process quicker, fairer and more consistent.

We can support with:

  • Reviewing applications or CVs
  • Screening against agreed criteria
  • Creating a clear shortlist
  • Preparing shortlist summaries
  • Supporting safer recruitment checks
  • Helping you identify suitable candidates or volunteers

Step 4: Interview Support

Structured interviews help charities make fair and confident decisions.

  • Interview questions
  • Scoring frameworks
  • Selection criteria
  • Interview panel guidance
  • Interview training for managers or trustees

Step 5: Offers and Onboarding

We can support with:

  • Offer letters

  • Employment documentation
  • New starter checklists
  • Onboarding checklists
  • Right to work guidance
  • Reference and safer recruitment check guidance

HR-Led, Not Agency-Led

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, we do not operate on placement fees or commission structures.

Our recruitment support is billed transparently on an agreed hourly or project basis. This allows you to retain control of your budget while benefiting from experienced HR oversight.

We work alongside you throughout the recruitment process, ensuring compliance and alignment with your governance framework.
