Frequently asked questions
What should we prioritize when hiring staff for a nonprofit?
Work history is certainly important, but in a nonprofit setting, there isn’t a lot of room for error. We prioritize looking for candidates who know how to work with limited budgets and can juggle competing demands from the board and external forces. Communication is equally important, which is why we value past references from other employers.
How can Whitman Associates help us find candidates who care about our cause?
We start by learning how your organization operates. Once we have a thorough understanding of your team and your needs, it’s easier to find candidates who have thrived in similar environments before. That may be a mission-driven, corporate-style setting or a community-focused startup. As a staffing agency, it’s our goal to know what drives candidates before our clients are sitting across from them in an interview.
How do you screen candidates for nonprofit roles?
Every candidate goes through an interview process, which includes reference checks and skill assessments. For nonprofit roles specifically, we pay close attention to how candidates fit within the mission of the organization, how they handle coordination across teams and their specific experience they bring to the organization.
Do candidates need prior nonprofit experience?
Not always. Some of our strongest placements in nonprofit roles came from candidates with professional office backgrounds who hadn’t worked in the sector before. What we’re looking for is whether someone dedicated can fit into your environment, including the pace and the culture.
What types of nonprofit roles do you typically fill?
Many of the roles we fill are in the administrative space. The positions can be temporary, temp-to-hire or permanent roles in all types of nonprofits. These roles might be anything from executive assistants to office managers to HR support staff.
