Executive Search & Recruiting Services
If you’re a smaller nonprofit or not large enough to have a dedicated HR Department, hiring and replacing staff can be a challenge. Whether you are seeking to hire executive roles, key positions or frontline roles- we can help.
For most organizations, staff is focused on implementing programs and providing services related to your mission. When you add the additional responsibilities of conducting a search for vacant or new positions, it is often more than they (or you) can manage. Think about it: one of the most important resources for your nonprofit is the people who work there. Hiring the right people is an important investment that can make or break how successful you are at achieving your organization’s mission.
A few of the challenges you may experience when trying to hire the right people are:
- Limited bandwidth
Chances are you’re already short-staffed, either because you’ve had people leave or you’re adding additional staff for a new program. - Limited experience hiring executive-level or even frontline staff
Designing an effective campaign to attract talent to your organization isn’t as simple as placing an ad online. We start by understanding the job and then craft a position advertisement that will attract top candidates. We target individuals who want to work for an organization like yours because they identify with your mission or cause. People who want to work for a nonprofit (usually at a lesser salary) want to know that their work is meaningful and makes a difference. - Limited perspective
Do the people who work at your nonprofit realize how the job and your organization is perceived from the outside? Do they understand what job and organizational highlights will attract top candidates? Hiring a recruiter from outside your company will ensure that your marketing plan attracts the right candidates to apply. You need someone who knows what nonprofits jobs are really like and understands the available candidate pool to find those hidden gems.
