Donor & Grantee Stories
HR Essentials: Hiring Right: A Process That Attracts the Right People
With Linda Strauss
A good hire is hard enough to find, and a bad one is costly. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates a bad hire costs an organization at least 30% of that employee's first-year earnings, and for a small nonprofit the damage to team dynamics and momentum can be even harder to recover from. This session covers writing job descriptions that actually reflect the role, posting and recruiting in ways that widen your candidate pool, reviewing a resume in no time flat, gauging whether a candidate will fit your culture, and conducting interviews that surface the right information (and stay on the right side of the law). You'll also learn the one interview question that will save you every time.
