Search Services (available as a bundle or individually):
By taking advantage of
your networks and knowledge and offering our experience and strength, the
Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group can provide a cost-effective method of
completing your current search. We allow our clients to contract with us for
the full suite of services or let them pick a la carte.
Position Description Writing:
A good position description
doesn't just detail the skills and qualifications sought in a successful
candidate -- it outlines the future of an organization and explains in detail
what challenges must be met in the next 12-to-18 months. Serving as a
mini-strategic planning session for your mid- to executive staff, our position
description writing will get your entire organization behind your hire.
Resume Screening: Don't become overwhelmed by the
typhoon of paper flooding your inbox. We will pare down your candidate
pool by prescreening the resumes of candidates for basic qualifications,
delivering to you only those worth your time and effort.
Telephone and Face-to-Face
Interviewing: Save time, money and
frustration by having our qualified headhunters
ensure that you and your search committee see only the best candidates.
Reference Checking: A good reference check will ask
tough, probing questions, often shedding more light on a candidate than the
interview itself. Our consultants do references from the candidate’s list, and
with permission, stray from that list as well.
Search Committee Maintenance
and Interviewing Logistics:
Positions that require the
coordination of a search committee and the management of the logistics of the
process can take up an extraordinary amount of time. We will do that for
you, so you can focus on what really counts -- the candidates’ skills and
experiences.
Negotiation of Offer:
Negotiations can be sticky, especially when you have to live with the successful
candidate after the offer is made. We can serve as the go-between removing
the awkwardness from negotiations.
E-Newsletter
Announcements:
Monthly Announcements:
The much coveted advertising
spots in our e-newsletter go quickly!
Sent to more than 12,000 nonprofit job
seekers each month, Making Changes
is the place to announce
your organization's hiring needs.
Strategic Staffing
and Team Building:
Often, the dynamic of the staff as a
whole is overlooked when assessing the strength of an organization.
Instead of just filling an open position, seize this opportunity to create real
change within your organization.
We train supervisors to assess their
current team members, and guide them in the strategic hiring of new staff and
development of existing staff. Through personality training that teaches
employees how to assess their own strengths and challenges, as well as their
co-workers, we increase communications and build stronger teams.
Training:
Nonprofits should aim to increase the capacity of internal staff rather than
continuously rely on outside consultants. Strengthen your staff and volunteers to negotiate the
complex search process and make smarter, more sustainable hiring choices with prepared,
customized trainings for your leadership,
volunteers and other staff in all the service areas offered.
Editorial and Communications Support:
Strategic Communications: Many nonprofits have a clear understanding of their mission but do not
effectively communicate the value of their services to important audiences --
constituents, partners, community leaders, funders, policymakers, and others. We
can work with you to develop strategies, campaigns, and materials that will
enhance your communications, fundraising, recruitment, and advocacy efforts.
Editorial Support: Applying skills gained from the public and private sectors, our professionals
can write, review, or edit your communications materials -- such as annual
reports, brochures, newsletters, Web site, communications plans, proposals,
media kits. We also offer a one-time audit of your existing materials to
determine how you can clarify and advance your mission and goals.
