Engage Executive Talent has teamed up with ARK Consultancy to create a new and talent recruitment service for Northern Ireland's housing associations.

Engage Executive Talent is the recruitment arm of CO3, the membership body for third sector leaders in Northern Ireland and has helped more than 80 third and public sector organisations recruit chief executives, senior management team members, board chairs, trustees, and interim executives.

ARK is a specialist housing consultancy providing strategic support, bespoke consultancy, interim resources, recruitment and training and development services across the UK for housing associations, local authorities, and charitable organisations.

The new collaboration will provide a wraparound recruitment and selection service tailored to the needs of housing associations which includes ongoing leadership and peer-to-peer support for successful candidates after appointment.

Patrick Minne, Director, Engage Executive Talent said: "This is an exciting and progressive partnership which represents a major evolution of the local housing recruitment sector and combines the collective expertise and competencies of our two organisations. Together we understand the mission, culture and values of a sector dedicated to improving its community, and we recognise why and how those factors need to be considered during recruitment and selection processes, alongside traditional skills and experiences. This is a partnership which will harness the best qualities and experiences of both of our organisations and will bring together ARK’s deep, 30-year knowledge of the UK housing sector with our specialist expertise of the social enterprise sector to deliver a holistic and bespoke recruitment service."
