Working Your Organization's Network
When an
organization has an open position, it typically relies on advertising the job
through traditional means, such as online job boards and newspaper classifieds.
However, many organizations overlook the recruiting power of the personal and
professional networks of their staff members, dismissing networking as too
difficult, time consuming or foreign to them.
According to a study by the U.S. Department of Labor,
however, almost half of all jobseekers (48 percent) obtain their jobs through
referrals. Additionally, numerous reports indicate that between 60 and 80
percent of executive level positions are filled through networking or referrals,
especially in the nonprofit sector. The ability to leverage and extend an
organization's known relationships, as well as market its opportunities to
jobseekers, is essential to making networking work as a viable recruitment
source.

GONG! Regional Executive Director at LIFT
Commongood Careers is excited to
announce the hire of Maicharia Weir Lytle as the new Regional Executive Director
at LIFT,
Boston. LIFT (formerly National Student
Partnerships) is a growing movement to combat poverty and expand opportunity for
all people in the United
States. LIFT currently runs centers staffed by
trained volunteers in Boston, Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, to serve low-income individuals and
families. LIFT recruits and trains a diverse corps of student advocates from
area universities and colleges to work side-by-side with low-income community
members. Addressing immediate and long-term needs, LIFT clients and volunteers
work one-on-one to find jobs, secure safe and stable housing, make ends meet
through public benefits and tax credits, and obtain quality referrals for
services like childcare and healthcare. LIFT is in the midst of substantial,
long term national expansion in five major regions including Boston where the
Regional Executive Director will implement their programming, grow their local
presence and achieve huge impact through attracting new funding sources,
partnering with local universities and serving as an external spokesperson for
LIFT in Boston, increasing visibility and brand awareness throughout the
community.
This position requires a high-level
of drive and passion for the work of LIFT, exceptional capacity for management
and fundraising and the ability to direct the day-to-day operations of a growing
direct service organization. Maicharia is just the person they need to get this
job done. Maicharia brings over ten years of experience and a strong commitment to
eliminating poverty through financial literacy programs, asset development and
community outreach. Most recently, Maicharia served as the Vice President of
Development at Whittier Street Health
Center where she oversaw the strategic
management of fund development, marketing and branding to increase access to health and
social services for a diverse population of 12,000 patients in Roxbury, MA and surrounding communities. Maicharia
holds a BA from the University of Connecticut as well as an MBA from Simmons
School of Management.
"Everyone at LIFT is excited to have
Maicharia lead our Boston office. Her commitment to our mission
and her vast experience will undoubtedly help strengthen LIFT locally in
Boston as well
as on a national scale. Commongood Careers was instrumental in not only
connecting us with Maicharia but also helping us to create systems for
interviewing candidates in a thoughtful and strategic way that evaluated their
experience as well as their potential culture fit within our
organization."
- Tony Brunswick, VP of
Programs, LIFT
