Finding and recruiting top talent should not be a waiting game
The animal movement is facing a critical talent gap, significantly impacting the overall candidate pool. This is one of the major issues holding back nonprofits from maximising their potential, according to our research.
Is your organisation facing these challenges too?
Struggle to efficiently reach a diverse pool of qualified candidates, particularly for specific skill sets
Dealing with prolonged and resource-intensive hiring processes
Balancing limited capacity and resources, making it tough to effectively advertise roles and boost brand visibility
Wishing for greater efficiency to attract top-tier candidates, save resources, and achieve a higher impact for animals
We face a shared challenge in ending animal suffering. Our hiring struggles slow down our collective power for change.
Let’s simplify our path to impactful hiring, in line with our vision for a world where animals don’t suffer.
Hiring the right people is one of the most important things we do at FWI. And when we’re making mid-level to senior hires, AAC’s Top Talent Directory is one of the first places we turn to. In our experience, it’s one of the best places for sourcing extremely talented and mission-aligned candidates.
Haven King-Nobles
Co-Founder - Fish Welfare Initiative
The Top Talent Directory is an excellent tool for finding qualified and motivated animal advocates. The candidates are diverse and high-quality, and the directory is easy to use. It made our hiring process easier and faster. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for top talent in this field.
Silvano Lieger
Co-Managing Director - Sentience
My experience with the Top Talent Directory has been a positive and seamless one. There are a number of highly qualified, experienced and motivated individuals in the directory to choose from, and it is already proving itself to be a valuable tool in sourcing potential candidates
Abigail Penny
Executive Director - Animal Equality UK
A great directory of incredibly talented and motivated candidates who are looking to make an important and positive impact within the animal advocacy realm. I also love being able to share great candidates, who, even though were not hired by us, I know any one of them would make a great addition to another team.

Looking to improve your hiring process further?
Access valuable resources provided in partnership with Scarlet Spark, a nonprofit supporting animal protection organisations.
Scarlet Spark helps organisations enhance recruitment, retention, engagement, inclusion, and overall impact by fostering human-friendly workplaces.
When you sign up for access to these resources, you’ll also receive Scarlet Spark’s newsletter, tailored for leaders in animal advocacy organisations, offering insights and strategies to help your organisation thrive and create positive change in the animal protection movement.
The public Talent Directory offers access to a wide pool of candidates interested in animal advocacy. In contrast, the private Top Talent Directory provides access to a curated list of pre-vetted candidates who have excelled in rigorous hiring processes with other organisations, streamlining your recruitment efforts and ensuring quality hires.
When participating organisations conduct hiring rounds, they invite suitable candidates from the directory to participate, and share back their top candidates who were not hired.
This will enable the top candidate data sharing among the organisations, ensuring a continuous talent supply for their hiring processes. Candidates not selected by one organisation are referred to others in the network.
By sharing your candidates, you’re also increasing the impact of your organisation and our movement as a whole:
Enhance the retention of exceptional talent within the movement.
Facilitate a more equitable distribution of talent across impactful animal advocacy organisations.
The TTD is tailored for organisations dedicated to the primary or exclusive focus on aiding farmed or wild animals. To participate, your organisation should align closely with our mission and vision.
Absolutely. The TTD accommodates new or small organisations that haven’t run a hiring process initially, allowing them to join and benefit from the shared resource.
We prioritise data protection and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All participating organisations, including yours, will sign an agreement aligned with GDPR laws to safeguard candidates’ data.
In the TTD, “top candidates” are individuals who have undergone hiring processes in participating organisations, made it to the final hiring round but were not selected. These candidates have impressed other hiring managers through a great CV, test task, interview or a combination of all.
The Top Talent Directory curates exceptional talents who excelled in other organisations’ hiring rounds. While these candidates have demonstrated success in other rounds, we cannot guarantee their performance or suitability, as individual outcomes may vary. We recommend organisations still conduct their own hiring rounds to due diligence on candidates’ suitability.
By sharing your top candidates, you contribute to a collaborative resource for the animal advocacy movement. In return, you gain access to a pool of over 180 candidates, potentially decreasing your team’s hiring time and increasing the chances of finding exceptional talent.
Joining the TTD not only benefits individual organisations but contributes to building a more robust and collaborative community dedicated to ending animal suffering.
The TTD process:
Mitigates talent loss in the movement by providing a supportive network for candidates not selected.
Facilitates collaboration, allowing organisations to share qualified candidates with one another, as well as resources and knowledge.
Strengthens the collective impact by retaining valuable talent within the community.
