ZRG Practices
Hiring for Non Profits is tricky business. How do you balance the resume and background of a candidate with the philanthropic DNA of your organization? How do you measure social, civic and cultural needs of your leadership team with the hard business skills required to do the job? Do you hire candidates from within the sector or look at executives from out of the industries you serve?
ZRG brings a unique fact-based approach to hiring for leading not for profit organizations, associations and education clients globally. Built perfectly to meet the needs of search committees, ZRG’s Z Score process brings data and analytics to the hiring process as well as leading edge interview feedback tools to help search committees make great hiring decisions. Combining the right tools with the right people, our team has direct experience in the not for profit world including direct fundraising and managing of leading nonprofit and educational organizations.
