Reentry and second-chance hiring programs are assessed based on various indicators, including employment rates, job retention, earnings, skill development, reduced recidivism rates, community engagement, housing stability, family reunification, access to support services, participant satisfaction, employer engagement, and public perception. High employment rates indicate successful reentry, while increasing earnings and skill development demonstrate economic stability.

Hiring justice-impacted individuals can bring several benefits to organizations and communities. These individuals often possess unique strengths and perspectives gained through their experiences, such as resilience, problem-solving skills, and determination. By providing employment opportunities, organizations contribute to reducing recidivism rates and promoting successful reintegration into society. Moreover, embracing diversity in the workplace by hiring justice-impacted individuals fosters a more inclusive environment and demonstrates a commitment to social responsibility. Overall, these efforts not only benefit the individuals themselves but also contribute positively to organizational culture and community well-being.

"We're here to help you find the perfect fit so you can focus on making a difference." This is SO important for #NonProfitLeaders to hear, understand, and respond to. So often, Director-level and above positions are already wearing too many hats and have a never-ending to-do list. A thoughtful hiring process is often short-changed by the tyranny of the urgent. The strategy is often "post it and see who comes in." (Spoiler alert: that's not a great strategy.) Yet, making the right hire could make their lives so much easier and allow them to serve their mission so much more effectively. It doesn't have to be this way, my fellow non-profit friends! If you've felt the stress of not having the time to focus on your fundraising, board development, program management, or whatever else because you need to manage a search, I'd love to have a conversation with you. If you've felt the frustration of not having a robust pool of excellent candidates to interview because you don't have the time, or aren't sure how to proactively recruit...let's talk. #SearchSolutions #SalvationArmy #RescueMission #FoodBank #FeedingAmerica #Bridge24 #AFPICON #HabitatForHumanity

The nonprofit sector is facing an unprecedented workforce crisis.  The latest survey, "Nonprofit Workforce Shortages: A Crisis that Affects Everyone," provides a stark illustration of the challenges we confront daily. With a staggering three out of four nonprofits reporting job vacancies, the landscape is changing, and not for the better. These vacancies aren't just numbers; they represent unfilled roles in program and service delivery—positions that directly touch the lives of those we strive to uplift. LEARN MORE:

As a job developer for a non-profit organization, we previously provided incentives to employers for hiring clients. However, these incentives have now been reduced due to lack of funding. Consequently, there has been a decline in employers’ interest in hiring the candidates we recommend, as the incentives are less compelling. This raises questions about how effectively we're supporting the community. Many of these clients possess strong educational backgrounds and valuable experience, yet they struggle to secure opportunities to enter the workforce. #community #londonontario #employment #workforce

Do you work in the public sector? Or in the world of non-profits? If so, you're living in the world of wicked problems. This isn't something out of Star Wars or the Hobbit, but is a sociological term explaining the type of challenges you're facing. Wicked problems are those challenges that: - Are constantly changing and evolving. (E.g., housing challenges) 🔄 - Can't be solved through trial and error (Each time you try something, it changes the problem - such as the expectations of people involved!)🔬 - Matter a huge deal to the people who are experiencing them (E.g., cost of living, access to healthcare, safe communities, urban planning) 💔 - Are tough to describe and define! 🤯 In short, they're tricky! We'd love to hear about the wicked challenges you're currently working in - and how you're finding the experience.
