Hiring Strategy

Project details

What we need
  • Recommendations on active and passive recruiting and proper channels to pursue candidates
  • Guidelines for hiring process, including order and number of interview rounds, reference checks, and general best practices for an inclusive interview
  • Effective interviewing techniques and clear, consistent standards for evaluating candidates
  • Tips for negotiating details such as compensation package and title
What we have in place
  • We are currently halfway through the recruitment process for our new Biodiversity Campaigner, and will be immediately recruiting a Grassroots Organizer after.

    We have our existing job descriptions for each of these roles, and a bank of interview questions that we usually pull from, but we are hoping to overhaul our recruitment process with an eye for inclusivity and incorporating JEDI principles.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,806 , allowing us to invest our time in our programs and campaigns that help protect the Salish Sea, which includes hosting events, mobilizing volunteers, and meeting with decision-makers.

Our staff are GSA's greatest assets. Their creativity and hard work is what guides and shapes our work. Finding the perfect candidate will guide our future, growth, and efficacy as we try to tackle some of the greatest environmental challenges facing the Salish Sea.

Revitalizing our recruitment processes so it is more inclusive to underrepresented voices is also important as we try to reimagine our work and subvert white dominant power structures in the environmental movement.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
Working with Chad was a pleasure! He provided us with a lot of really great insights to help re-shape our hiring strategy and re-think our processes with an emphasis on inclusivity. We just finished our first hiring process after talking with Chad, and we are extremely impressed with our new process and how it allowed us to get to know each applicant on a deeper level than our conventional cover letter-resume process. Thank you for all your help, Chad!!
