Recruitment mentoring
Making recruitment easier for the not-for-profit sector.
Who is it for?
Often, recruitment responsibility sits with someone who already has a full role:
a busy leader with no people and culture (P&C) support
an early-career P&C generalist with know hiring experience
an overwhelmed P&C professional wearing multiple hats
another team member coordinating hiring alongside their day job.
Getting recruitment right requires time, space and experience.
This program is recruitment advice and guidance for non-recruiters.
Why recruitment mentoring?
Do you want to:
Reach more of the right candidates?
Get to a quality shortlist, faster?
Navigate hiring complexity without dropping the ball?
Reduce candidate drop outs?
Increase offer acceptance?
Make better, more sustainable hiring decisions?
For a guaranteed solution, you can outsource recruitment. But not every hire needs to be outsourced.
There is another way.
Build internal hiring capability with mentoring.
What is it?
The Attract Recruitment Mentoring program is a 10-week partnership designed to build internal recruitment capability so hiring can be easier, faster and more effective.
Leveraging 20 years’ experience and 98% placement success, this program provides expert guidance and support to:
build internal hiring capability and confidence
interpret messy or unclear hiring signals
identify what’s really causing hiring challenges
reframe recruitment from a HR process to a strategic opportunity
bring marketing and consumer thinking into hiring decisions
reduce false certainty, wasted effort and second-guessing.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn how to think about recruitment with a different mindset and get better results.

Reduce drop-off and increase offer acceptance.
Move from reactive vacancy-filling to intentional talent attraction.
Shorten time-to-fill without compromising quality.
Make confident decisions in complex, imperfect conditions.
