Having trouble filling positions at your nonprofit? It’s not just you: nonprofit hiring is a tough gig.
Prevent a hiring bias by following these tips.
I’ve been hired for a new short-term job that doesn’t start for a couple of months. Since I verbally agreed to take the role, I have been receiving a flurry of emails, some of which ask me to create documents and do other work.

But with baby boomers retiring, it’s time to think outside the baby boom box to meet the hiring challenge before us.
Nonprofits that have a plan to attract, develop and retain top talent will see a dramatic boost in organizational performance. In fact, this is the key challenge facing any nonprofit manager: strengthen your organization’s talent pool dramatically to meet current and future demands…or wither, become irrelevant, cease to be a player.

Creating a great job posting is one of the first steps in a successful hiring process. A well-crafted job ad will not only attract the right quality of candidates for the job, but will also increase the likelihood that applicants will be a good fit with your organization’s culture and values, making selecting the right candidate that much easier for you.
Are nonprofit employees paid too much? Or not enough?
