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 have about 11 open positions that we are currently seeking to fill. We are hoping to accomplish the foundational outcomes of this project and to ultimately recruit and retain awesome team members.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a recruiting platform list and checklist & interview process, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have standardized interview questions, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $20,326 , allowing us to recycle these dollars internally and use them for implementing an end of the year employee engagement retreat.

Creative Reaction Lab is only as strong as its team. Our organization is in the process of moving from a start-up non for profit to a mature one. This rapid growth is why we are seeking skilled individuals who center equity to join our team. Getting these positions filled will help move us forward as it relates to our overall mission of educating, training, and challenging Black and Latinx youth to become leaders designing healthy and racially equitable communities.

Our mission

Our mission is to educate, train, and challenge Black and Latinx youth to become leaders in designing healthy and racially equitable communities. We're challenging the belief that only adults with titles (e.g. mayors, CEOs, etc.) have the power and right to challenge racial and health inequities. However, we're conscious that young leaders and adults alike must collectively design a world centered in equity.
