YMCA Norfolk appoints Chief Executive in 6 weeks with Morgan Hunt

YMCA Norfolk, a Christian charity, faced the challenge of recruiting a new Chief Executive to replace a long-standing leader. The search was complex due to a Genuine Occupational Requirement for a candidate with a strong Christian faith, the necessity for specific charity sector experience, and a limited local talent pool in Norfolk. They engaged the recruitment agency Morgan Hunt to manage this sensitive and demanding executive search.

They managed a rigorous vetting process, including competency-based interviews and coordinating psychometric testing with their partner, Thomas International. The successful result was the appointment of John Lee, who met all essential criteria. Morgan Hunt efficiently managed the entire timeline, from briefing to offer, ensuring a smooth transition for the new Chief Executive who started in July 2021.
