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

As an animal welfare agency, we usually need to hire staff with animal-related backgrounds such as Veterinarian Technicians, Veterinarians, Behaviorist, and Adoption Specialists. There are also times when we need help finding quality candidates for admin-type positions in Accounting, Fund Development, IT, and Human Resources. We would like to build a list of proper channels for each major staffing need category.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a list of animal welfare recruitment sites, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated HR staff members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,806 , allowing us to save more animals

Our organization relies on great employees who are not only compassionate about animals ut are also highly skilled. We want to widen our search bucket to new candidates to recruit the best possible fit for our organization.
