File under: you can’t make this stuff up.
I was asked to fill out a survey about salaries and hiring trends in the nonprofit sector, and one of the questions is:
What is the determining factor in hiring staff for your organization?
a. Budget
b. Filling vacancies
c. Grant requirements
d. Organizational strategy
Other (please specify)_______
Help!! Is our sector really this broken?
Is hiring due to “organizational strategy” fourth on a list of four?
Does the fact that “grant requirements” beats it out make you more worried about our ability to fundraise successfully (so that strategy and business needs can drive our actions) OR about the fact that you would be required to hire someone because you got a grant?
When oh when will we get out of the echo chamber?
