The Urban Movement Innovation Fund (UMI Fund) is a bold global philanthropic initiative that works to connect, align, and strengthen people power for a more socially just, zero carbon future.
As a newly formed, globally remote organisation, UMI Fund needed to build their entire team from scratch, requiring both operational and programmatic staff. They were navigating the complexities of recruiting in a global and remote context, managing high application volumes and needing candidates who could thrive in a mission-driven, distributed work environment across different time zones and diverse cultural contexts.
We stepped in as a trusted recruitment partner and effectively to provide comprehensive recruitment services including Full Search, Shortlist Search, and streamlined efficient candidate filtering systems. Leveraging our vast international network enabled us to source from a diverse talent pool who possessed, not only technical skills and expertise, but also alignment with UMI Fund’s culture of remote, mission-driven work.
Since 2020, we have successfully completed 13 strategic appointments, co-creating recruitment solutions that are tailored to UMI Fund’s specific and evolving needs. Together, we have helped them to build a strong, high performing global team that is equipped to advance their mission forward. This ongoing partnership continues to strengthen their operational capacity and program delivery across multiple continents.
"An extremely positive and important aspect for me was the flexibility Upsall Internation had to adapt the process to our needs even if this meant changing your standard process. I see Upsall International as an extension of our HR and consider you to be my team and not just consultants. Hugely appreciated!"
