This role caters to individuals with minimal to no recruitment experience, who thrive in dynamic environments, set and achieve goals, and have a growth mindset.

The Recruiting Coordinator is a growth-track role aimed at training and developing the next generation of Recruiters. This role begins part-time, with a focus on candidate matching and building skills in sourcing and inviting candidates who may not be actively applying on job boards to consider our open opportunities. If the part-time aspect doesn't work for you, please apply anyway! Our ultimate goal is to find a great long-term, full-time fit.

As the sourcing skill is mastered, RC's are trained to screen candidates through phone screens and interviews, helping us further develop our local candidate pool and deepening their understanding of the nonprofit sector, roles we fill and how to coach candidates on interview and resume tips. Long-term, successful RC's are promoted to Recruiters, filling temporary roles with mid and entry-level professionals in fundraising, administration and accounting. Most Recruiting Coordinator are promoted to Recruiter within 1 year.
