Executive Search Services for Associations, Membership & Peak Body Organisations

With over 20 years of experience in executive hiring, we’ve witnessed just how the right leader can drive lasting change and elevate an organisation’s mission - and we’re dedicated to finding you your next ace.

At Revise Recruitment, we’re attuned to the unique challenges and requirements faced by peak bodies, membership organisations, and associations - especially when it comes to finding executive leaders. Our Executive Search service is tailored to address these specific needs with a personal, focused, and strategic approach.

What Sets Our Executive Search Apart

Our commitment goes beyond simply filling a role. We partner with you to understand the deeper needs of your organisation, from value alignment to long-term goals. Unlike large agencies, our boutique size allows us to dedicate more time and a hands-on approach to each project, building a partnership that feels more collaborative than transactional.

Why Choose a Boutique Agency?

Targeted Expertise

At Revise, we specialise in the Peak Bodies, Memberships, and Associations sector. This niche focus means we bring insights that are finely tuned to the needs and challenges of your industry - something larger agencies may lack.

Quality Over Quantity

While big agencies often rely on vast databases, we take pride in deep, meaningful relationships within our network. Our candidates are more than profiles - they’re professionals we know personally, who align with the values and aspirations of the organisations we serve.

Personalised and Agile Service

With Revise, you’re not just another client. We work with a select number of associations at any one time, giving your search the focused attention it deserves. This boutique approach allows us to move quickly without sacrificing quality or precision.

Our Approach

In-Depth Discovery

We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your goals, culture, values, and operational needs. This foundation ensures we understand what makes your organisation unique and helps us identify candidates who will thrive within it.

National & Sector-Specific Networks

Our extensive network within the not-for-profit and membership sectors provides access to experienced, mission-driven leaders across Australia. Whether you’re searching for a CEO, CFO, or other C-suite roles, we tap into a candidate pool that understands the nuances of your field.

Comprehensive Candidate Assessment

We go beyond resumes to assess technical skills, culture add, and leadership potential. Through detailed interviews and industry-leading tools, we ensure each candidate aligns with your vision.

Confidential & Seamless Communication

Every step of the process is managed with professionalism and integrity. We handle sensitive discussions with discretion, ensuring a seamless experience from initial outreach to final negotiations.

Testimonials

Anna

Systems Transformation Manager

Louise’s services have been great. It was my first experience hiring through a recruitment agency and I couldn’t have been better supported. I was quite pleased to see Louise asking questions a bit beyond the scope of the role – as this would inform candidates about the culture and other important aspects for a “match beyond skills”. I felt supported along the process, and it went through as a breeze. Both me and the person hired also got follow-ups after the recruitment, to make sure things were still aligned and we were happy.

Having this support saved me so much time and I believe it was so much worth it.

Sam

Director of Industry Affairs & Deputy CEO

Having worked with Louise at Revise Recruitment to place several key members of our team over the past 18 months, her genuine enthusiasm, deep understanding of industry associations along with excellent communication skills results in a smooth and transparent process. Louise has both the interests of the organisation and the individual at the heart of her recruitment process and this results in the best outcomes for all.

Jodie

CEO

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Louise Roper over the last six years, and throughout that time she has consistently delivered exceptional service. Louise has a great level of understanding of the Association sector and she also dedicates significant time to understanding the unique needs of the organisations she is working for.

Louise consistently demonstrates the highest level of professionalism, ensuring every interaction exhibits integrity, clear communication, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results for her clients. She has a very personalised approach to recruitment and is adept at sourcing top talent who align with the role and organisational requirements.

I would highly recommend Louise and Revise Recruitment to any organisation seeking a recruitment partner to consistently deliver a seamless and professional recruitment process.

Lyndal

I had the pleasure of working with Louise Roper and Revise Recruitment during my time at ASUM, and their service was truly exceptional. Louise has a genuine interest in the business and helps to drill down on the skill set and cultural fit needed for a successful outcome for both the business and candidate. Her professionalism, attention to detail and hands-on approach to delivering quality outcomes led to several successful recruitments, and I highly recommend her expertise to anyone seeking a tailored and effective recruitment solution.

Sid

CEO

Louise stands out in the recruitment space as someone who operates with discipline and integrity. This is best demonstrated in the depth of her understanding of the roles she recruits for, and willingness to challenge the client to ensure that the recruitment delivers the right outcome for both the client and the candidate

Amanda

Head of Membership

Louise placed me with my current employer. The organisation is everything Louise described - I’ve never been happier.

During my recruitment process, I was impressed by Louise’s professionalism, how she thoroughly analysed and qualified my fit for the role, the pre-interview support provided, and the consistent communication throughout my application process.

A year later, Louise recruited members of my team who have proven to be a perfect fit.

I would recommend Louise to anyone.

Head of Operations & Membership

Louise is an absolute asset to our organisation and has saved me on multiple occasions, going above and beyond to make sure we find the right fit. Louise has made a real effort to understand the culture of our team and the kind of work we do to make sure she always finds a good fit. She’s extremely easy to work with and somehow manages to make the whole recruitment process enjoyable. I’d be lost without her!
