Candidate Attraction.

Attract the right candidates by being clear and compelling about what you can offer, since you often cannot compete on salary.

The posting

Lead with the mission and the real chance to contribute, not a list of duties

State plainly what success looks like and what the role actually demands

Be honest about pay, or at least a range, and the working reality

Name what you can offer that money cannot: meaning, growth, flexibility, a real say

Where to reach the right people

Your own networks, and your staff's and board's networks, which are your strongest source

Mission-aligned job boards and community channels where your kind of candidate looks

The honesty rule: do not oversell. A candidate drawn by a promise you cannot keep leaves within a year, and you are back here. Attract the right person, not the most people.
