Our Team
Rory White
Our founder, Rory White, began recruiting for the charity sector in 1997. He later established Flow Caritas, building it into a trusted partner for sourcing talent across both fundraising operations and charity head office leadership roles.
Over the years, he has played a key part in shaping fundraising teams at some of the UK’s most recognisable charities, including Shelter, British Red Cross, Oxfam, Barnardo’s, Médecins Sans Frontières, Scope, The Children’s Society, EveryChild, and the League Against Cruel Sports.
He has since taken that deep expertise in fundraising and development and successfully expanded into the education sector, helping schools and institutions build high-performing advancement, alumni, and development teams.

Executive Coach and Non-Profit Recruitment Expert 
Executive Non-Profit Recruitment Expert and Founder of Fern TalentTim Barnes
After years in high-volume, KPI-driven recruitment agencies, Tim shifted into the nonprofit sector, moving from transactional mass placements to work that focused on placing skilled people into roles where they could create real impact.
It became clear that traditional recruitment was losing relevance, with charities needing more strategic, consultancy-led support that considers their wider context rather than simple CV matching. This led to a more tailored approach focused on solving specific organisational challenges.
With Fern Talent, Tim combines niche expertise, flexible project-based support, and AI tools to deliver more efficient, relationship-driven search services at lower cost. He also starts with free strategic consultations, recognising that the best solution isn’t always to recruit immediately, but to first understand the most effective path forward.
