Recruiting | Attracting Top HR Talent into the Third Sector

The “third sector” is a broad term for organisations belonging neither to the public sector (i.e., the state) nor to the private sector (profit-making private enterprise). You may have heard other terms used to describe these organisations such as the voluntary sector, non-governmental organisations or non-profit organisations.

I’ve always had a strong passion for recruiting into the third sector. My clients offer rewarding and socially engaging places to work. It’s a breath of fresh air to discuss with prospective candidates. At this point it’s an “easy sell”.

It’s not until you start talking about salary and bonuses that you can start to squirm in your seat, hoping against hope that the candidate is looking to move AND take a pay cut!

However, those times are changing….and if the Third can be a little savvier, and change their mindset on three key areas, they will be able to ensure they can attract top HR talent to their sector.
