We get asked this a lot: How long will the recruitment process take? ⏰ Working with a recruitment agency can save you some time. ⏰ We'll take on the lengthy process of shortlisting, for example. ⏰ And we're confident that your chances of finding the right candidate are increased (so you don't have to go out again) But it can still take a while - we'd say 6-8 weeks is a reasonable expectation. --- Image description: the image is a graphic with a lime green background. Forest green text reads, "How long does recruitment take?" and there is a grey icon of a person and clock. #RecruitmentLife #CharityRecruitment #CharitySector

Our values have never been a forgotten about list on the wall of our offices. Since we became employee owned (more about how that's going soon), they have become even more important. Values are the set of beliefs that we all agree on. They guide what we do and how we do it. Yesterday we all got together to talk about how to live our values with the help of our friends at OXygen. 💚 #Values #BusinessValues #EmployeeOwnership

Repeat after us: "It doesn't have to be a presentation!" 👏 We can't count the number of times we've been told that candidates will need to prepare a presentation for interview. It comes from a good place. Charities want to understand the way a candidate thinks, their experience and expertise and their communication skills - presentations do all three, don't they? Well, not always. 🤔 Delivering a presentation is a very specific type of communication. It won't show whether a candidate is great in meetings or at writing long form copy, for example. Sometimes a nervous delivery will distract attention from the content. If the role you're recruiting for doesn't involve presentations - could you use another approach? ✅ A test based on a task that the candidate will actually perform. ✅ Asking the candidate to share some pre-prepared notes on how they would approach a task or situation and talking the notes through with you. ---- Image description: the image is a three frame carousel on Charity People lime and forest greens. Each frame has a speech bubble. The text in the speech bubbles reads: • It doesn’t have to be a presentation! • Interview tasks should be something the candidate will do a lot in the role. • Or an explanation of how they would approach a task. #InterviewTips #RecruitingTips #CharityJobs
