Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) is the independent charity that looks after treasured landmarks like the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, and Kensington Palace. With an unwavering commitment to safeguarding these iconic sites and sharing their captivating stories with the world, HRP sought the expertise of Charisma, a recruitment firm renowned for its ability to identify and place exceptional individuals who embody the values and aspirations of its clients.

The task at hand was twofold: to find a Partnerships Manager and a Digital Marketing Manager, individuals who would play pivotal roles in shaping HRP's future success. The Partnerships Manager would be responsible for developing and managing a strategic partnerships program, cultivating relationships with key stakeholders, and generating significant income. The Digital Marketing Manager, on the other hand, would spearhead the organisation's digital marketing efforts, leveraging technology to enhance audience engagement and drive impactful campaigns.

Charisma embarked on a rigorous search, meticulously evaluating potential candidates from across the diverse realms of partnerships, marketing, and communications. The firm's consultants sought individuals who possessed not only the necessary skills and experience but also a deep understanding of HRP's mission, a passion for history and heritage, and a strategic vision for the future.

To uncover the most exceptional talent, Charisma employed a multi-pronged approach, encompassing targeted advertising campaigns, strategic headhunting, and a thorough search of its extensive network. This comprehensive strategy ensured that Charisma cast a wide net, attracting a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates.

From this initial pool, Charisma carefully selected a shortlist of exceptional individuals for each role, each demonstrating a remarkable alignment with HRP's mission and values. Through in-depth interviews and assessments, Charisma's consultants gained a deeper understanding of the candidates' leadership styles, strategic thinking, and their ability to connect with HRP's mission and values.

Following a rigorous selection process, Charisma was proud to present HRP with two exceptional individuals to assume the roles of Partnerships Manager and Digital Marketing Manager. These successful appointments exemplified Charisma's unwavering commitment to finding the perfect fit, ensuring that HRP would be guided by individuals who possessed not only the necessary expertise but also the passion, creativity, and strategic acumen to drive the organisation towards an era of unprecedented growth and impact.

The successful placement of these critical leadership roles marked the beginning of a continuing partnership between Charisma and HRP. Impressed by our approach, unwavering support and consultancy, HRP entrusted Charisma with additional recruitment assignments, further solidifying their trust in Charisma's ability to identify and place exceptional talent.
