Executive Coaches Help Vet Nonprofit Job Applicants
People seeking top-level nonprofit jobs can now expect to be interviewed not just by nonprofit recruiters and their potential bosses, but also by executive coaches who advise the organization’s top executives, says The Wall Street Journal.
The extra step is part of an effort to reduce turnover, the newspaper says.
After interviewing candidates to help her run Family Justice, the New York charity she founded, Carol Shapiro finally found one she liked, but didn’t pick the job candidate because her executive coach found the candidate lacking in managerial experience, the newspaper reports.
Another contender who won approval from the coach got the job and joined Family Justice as chief operating officer in late February.
The interview by the coach benefits not just the charity but also the job seeker “because an executive coach can describe what this new boss will really be like,” says Marilyn Machlowitz, a New York recruiter who handled Ms. Shapiro’s search.
