The Executive Search & Fundraising Officer Recruitment Process

Discovery & Position Description

We begin the executive search process by learning which specific qualifications, skills, work styles, and traits will be a good fit on your team. Then, we develop an expansive position description that excites job seekers and creates a shared understanding of organizational goals and culture.

Understanding Organizational Needs

Your TWB recruiting team will learn which qualifications, skills, work styles, and traits will be a good fit on your team. We will request documents and conduct internal stakeholder interviews to understand where your organization is now and where you hope to go. We’ll discuss your compensation and benefits package, and can conduct a salary survey to discover how the budgeted salary fits within the market for similar roles.

Developing the Position Description

Our position descriptions are more in-depth than typical job descriptions: they engage top-quality candidates to consider how their skills match your needs, inspire them by the opportunities offered, paint a nuanced portrait of the organization, and set workplace expectations. We then collaborate to fine-tune the details of the screening and interview process.

Recruitment & Screening

Proactive outreach is the best method for finding a candidate in this job market. Often, the best candidates for the job are not actively looking for new positions, but our network of nonprofit leaders and fundraisers reaches potential candidates who trust TWB Fundraising’s reputation.

Recruitment & Outreach

We list the role on a variety of job boards and distribute the position description through our database and extensive network of professional connections. We also practice active recruitment of high-quality candidates via LinkedIn, and we will use LinkedIn Recruiter to research and recruit candidates with the right experience.

Candidate Screening & Interviews

When prospective candidates are identified, we will create a detailed interview guide to uncover the nature and depth of the candidates’ experience. We conduct phone screenings to discuss applicants’ experience, interest, and expectations. Then, we conduct a comprehensive virtual interview using the interview guide.

Final Interviews & Making an Offer

We aim to present a pool of three or more strong candidates to choose from, and we share profiles of each candidate that summarize our impressions and outline strengths and weaknesses. We can help coordinate interviews with Board and staff members, and are able to check references. Since final deliberations can be time-consuming, we will help stay on track to ensure the top candidates are not lost to other positions.

What sets our executive search approach apart?

We know how to interview beyond the checklist to understand why applicants really want the job.

As “matchmakers,” we facilitate conversations between you and your top candidates to help you build a partnership that begins before they step into the role.
