Job seekers on NPO.net are specifically looking for careers in nonprofit organizations. Therefore, employers who post jobs can expect to find community-minded, service-driven candidates. How do you attract these ideal candidates? First, employers need to understand what these professionals are looking for in a career.
A chance to connect with the community
Job seekers in the nonprofit world want to positively impact the community. The degree to which they can do this, of course, depends on the role and mission of the organization. By communicating the impact the organization has on the community, managers can help employees feel connected to the mission, no matter what role they play in making it happen. Create opportunities for all employees to experience programs or interact with the people, animals, or beneficiaries of the organization’s work.
Growth opportunities
Job seekers are not just looking for a position to pay the bills. They are seeking a career in the nonprofit sector. They want to know what nonprofit job opportunities will come down the road. Be clear about the size of your organization, how internal hiring and promotions typically work and let them know what is expected for advancement.
Responsibility
Professionals in the nonprofit sector are willing to take on greater levels of responsibility. It’s often said that employees “wear many hats” and this means getting to take on new and challenging tasks. Nonprofit job seekers want a role where they can support the organization in many different ways. With a smaller staff and fewer resources available, each team member is directly responsible for the success of the organization. Try to attract highly motivated, driven individuals who understand this.
All NPO.net profits support STEM career preparation for urban students through our founding organization, Lumity.
Since 1984, Lumity has provided technical training and capacity-building services to other nonprofits. During this phase of Lumity’s existence, NPO.net was born. In 2016 Lumity adopted its current mission: to provide teens and young adults from underserved communities with transformational experiences to prepare them for lifelong STEM careers.
As a combination of two technology-focused nonprofits, Lumity delivers double the expertise and passion for providing STEM opportunities. In 2007, the IT Resource Center (ITRC) and the Nonprofit Financial Center (NFC) came together to form Lumity. Our goal to create more STEM opportunities in Chicagoland inspired CTC Connect, a two-year project to increase the capacity and sustainability of Chicago’s Community Technology Centers. When 323 program members gained employment after the first CTC project, we recognized the power of long-term STEM education and powerful partnerships — and our STEM programs were born.
