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
Additional details

We want to make sure our hiring practices are equitable and attract a diverse pool of candidates.

What we have in place
  • Unlimited time with the Food Club's Executive Director (HR staffer of the Food Club).

    Current job postings and interview procedures.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,836 , allowing us to provide a week of food to nearly 100 families.

We want to expand our team but are struggling to attract a diverse pool of candidates that have the skills we need. We are also struggling to describe the unique role we are looking to hire.
