Recruitment Marketing for NONPROFITS

By Ryan Kohler

Nonprofits have always struggled to hire as they compete for talent against bigger, better funded for-profit companies.

But post covid... things have gotten even worse for most employers. Generally speaking, most open jobs are receiving half as many applicants today as they did 2 years ago.

But there is hope!

This podcast provides a step by step roadmap to help underdog employers build a recruitment marketing strategy based on their strengths... creativity, agility, uniqueness so they can stop playing the money game and turn recruiting into a strategic advantage for their organization!

9. The Right Job Ad For the Right Candidate

Welcome back to the nonprofit recruitment marketing podcast. This is your host, Ryan Kohler. Today, we're going to talk about one of the most powerful ways to dramatically increase the number of qualified applicants who apply for your jobs. I'll be honest with you, this is also the most overlooked thing in the last 15 years. I have probably presented this concept 1000 different times, I've recorded 1000 different videos and sent out 1000 different emails, all phrasing this in every possible way in hopes of getting the HR world and employers to get this one simple concept. And so I hope you'll take a minute to take a deep breath. Because this right here is the fundamental reason why most employers are struggling to recruit right now. And it's especially important for underdog employers and nonprofits. So let's jump right in.

2. High Level Concept

Welcome to the nonprofit recruitment marketing podcast this your host, Ryan Kohler, CEO of applicant Pro. And today we're going to kind of zoom out and talk about the kind of overall strategy and way that nonprofits need to think about recruiting. Because at the end of the day, the number one mistake that nonprofits are making is by not having a vision, and really accepting their their spot in the marketplace for talent. And so this is a really good kind of high level intro to have your team LISTEN TO to have any budget your organization listened to, regardless of if they're in HR or not. If they play any part in the hiring process, any part in the management of setting the strategy or management of an organization, we need to understand where we fit in the marketplace and what strategies will work for us because there are ways to recruit great talent even as a non profit, but not if you approach it the wrong way.
