Special Report: The Voice of Nonprofit Talent
A few months ago, we asked the over 15,000 members of the Commongood Careers community to participate in a survey that explored jobseekers' attitudes, motivations and challenges in pursuing careers in the social sector. We are thrilled to now share the results and analysis of this survey in a special report entitled The Voice of Nonprofit Talent in 2008.
This report is intended to provide nonprofit employers with a deeper understanding of what employees prefer and expect from them. Our hope is that this information can help organizations be more effective at recruiting, hiring, developing and retaining talented individuals.
Thanks to all of you who participated in this survey. We invite you to share this report with your peers, colleagues, and anyone who is interested in gaining insight into today's nonprofit talent.
