Recruiting for the Talent You Want

There are common personality traits to every successful fundraiser. Understanding how to identify these traits over the phone and through informal informational interviews is crucial for identifying viable fundraising candidates. Additionally, by writing effective job posts that present the skillsets you need, you can better distinguish these vacant positions and attract the candidates you want.

Onboarding for Retention

The first six months for a new team member are essential for long-term retainment. By actively connecting your new hire to the organization and to individual teams, you will be able to emphasize that the work they do matters from day one and have a clear vision of what their first two weeks should look like. We will explore how to ensure that they progress toward their first 90-day goals, and define what expectations should be met by the end of their first year.

What Success Looks Like

With clearly defined individual goals that are known to all team members, everyone will understand what success looks like for themselves and their team. By setting appropriate performance metrics, especially for those who haven’t fundraised before, you can build in momentum over a three-year period that allows your fundraiser to gain confidence in their skillset and feel comfortable in their new career path.
