A few
years ago, a member of our service team purchased a beautiful gong from a local
shop to help decorate the office. We quickly adopted a practice of hitting the gong whenever a search
was filled. This tradition has become a part of the Commongood
Careers culture that we share as a team, as well as with a number of our
clients. At the end of a search, some of our clients will ask, "Did you hit the
gong yet?" You know who you are...
To help
share a bit of our culture with you, we are renaming the Success Story section
of this newsletter. From now on, we hope you enjoy the GONG! section, which
features the story of a recently closed search every
month.
Also in
this month's newsletter, you'll find information about a few of the amazing and active candidates from our network, as well as a series of tips on how to
communicate your organization's culture throughout the hiring process and the
latest musings from our blog.
We hope
this information continues to support the recruitment, retention, and
development of uncommon talent at your organization.
Sincerely,
The
Team at Commongood Careers

Communicating Your Organization's
Culture to Job Candidates
In our
conversations with nonprofit hiring managers, we constantly hear how cultural
fit is one of the most important criteria for hiring. A challenge for some
nonprofits, however, is to realize that such considerations are just as
important to jobseekers and that organizations need to be intentional about
communicating their cultural elements throughout every stage of the hiring
process. If done correctly, a hiring process can genuinely and effectively
reflect an organization's distinct personality and values.
Organizational culture is characterized by the
attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values of an entire organization. In the
social sector, an organization's culture is closely tied to its mission and
programs. The attributes of an organization's culture can be tangible, such as
dress code, or intangible, such as shared values.
