For the past two years, the U.S. unemployment rate has remained below 4%. This is great news for jobseekers but it can make hiring for your not-for-profit challenging. Consider looking within. By promoting existing staffers, you can save on the costs of recruiting workers. In addition, the process could go faster because you already know the candidates. However, you shouldn’t give up on outside hires completely. The job market still offers a larger pool of candidates, and external hires could provide new ideas and fresh strategies. Plus, hiring internally has the potential to create resentment among staffers.
