Skills-first hiring is changing how organizations build great teams. This is where you get the tools and a chance to apply your expertise to strengthen nonprofit hiring practices while building your own mastery.
Skills-first hiring considers the full range of skills a candidate brings, such as their experiences and capabilities, and HR professionals are the ones making it work. Many nonprofits recognize the value of skills-first hiring, but without dedicated HR resources, it’s hard to make that shift. That’s where your skills-first hiring support, delivered pro bono, can make that vision real.
Join Taproot and the SHRM Foundation on September 17th at 1 pm ET for a live session built for HR professionals who want to put skills-first hiring to work, not just in their own organizations, but in the communities that need it most.
Why attend?
SHRM experts will walk through their world-class credential-backed Skills-First Hiring framework, the kind of rigorous, practical approach you’d expect from the world’s leading HR association. Taproot will share how these approaches can help nonprofits build stronger teams and more resilient hiring practices. A live Q&A with these experts will follow.
You’ll also hear about an opportunity to go further through Taproot’s cohort-based pro bono program, where HR professionals work directly with nonprofits to build skills-first hiring practices into how they find and grow talent.
