Sourcing is not just trolling LinkedIn and other online sites to find names. It's picking up the phone and sharing a compelling story. It's looking online in creative ways. It's reviewing our extensive database. It's 30 years of knowledge and networking in the nonprofit industry.
Turning names into conversations:
Top talent returns a phone call from The Batten Group. They know our reputation in the industry. We make contact with the best candidate quickly.
Turn conversations into candidates:
We ask question about their needs and wants and show them how we can help meet their career goals. We share our clients' mission and the opportunity before them.
Interview preparation:
We prepare both sides for the interview process and set proper expectations. We do our homework beforehand so there are no surprises at the interview.
Stay in communication: We provide feedback in a timely manner and communicate next steps. Keeping a candidate (or a client) in the dark will not elicit good will.
Hold their hand: We spend time answering questions and dealing with concerns. We don't avoid difficult conversations. This high-touch interaction enables our candidate to trust us. Trust is crucial to a positive outcome.
Qualify:
Our vetting system is a finely honed process. References, background checks, negotiations are handled efficiently resulting in a 95% risk-free hire.
Follow up:
After the offer is signed, we maintain contact with our clients through the first 6 months on the job.
