The Ugandan Jobline

• The
  Talent Acquisition Manager will create recruitment strategy.  Each recruitment is like a mini casting
  call, requiring a clear understanding of the role and the reasons a
  talented candidate would want to play the part.  But before filling the part, we need you
  at to clarify the three P’s — the 
  position, people involved, and process.
• Find
  people. Many candidates find us through our website and ads.  When it comes to the best candidates,
  however, we often find them.  That’s
  why we want a recruiter with sourcing savvy: the knowledge of where the
  best candidates work and the ability to find them.  You will identify candidates through
  industry listservs, Boolean search strings, other NGOs, LinkedIn,
  Facebook, Development Executive Group, international conferences and
  trainings, and places we haven’t even thought of.
• Emphasize
  opportunity.  Great people come to
  Living Goods because of what we do and because of what they can do. That’s
  why we’re looking for a recruiter who can sell opportunity.  A manager who can breathe new life into
  a Living Goods branch. An analyst who can measure what matters.  A leader who can revive a dispirited
  team. 
• Assess
  people.  Knowing whether a candidate
  can do a job well is the hardest nut to crack in recruiting. At Living
  Goods, this means hiring people who can thrive in a team, do their jobs
  well, and do them with great gusto. 
  To find these people, we want a recruiter who has creative ideas on
  how to assess candidates – through things like writing assignments,
  presentations, mini projects, and auditions. 
• Create
  tools.  Recruiting tools can serve
  as an exercise of creativity and a way to organize people’s time and
  thoughts.  You will take stock of
  recruiting tools already in use, such as sample interview guides and
  evaluation forms.  Then, you will
  identify new and better tools that can help us find, assess, and hire the
  best candidates.
• Get
  a yes.  A golden rule in recruiting
  is to never make an offer that won’t be accepted.  That’s why great recruiters check in
  with candidates every step of the way—during the initial phone interview,
  after an interview with a hiring manager, and often in between.  Knowing candidates’ doubts and what
  qualities and responsibilities they really want can help a recruiter
  negotiate a “yes.”

• The
  applicant should have at least three years of experience finding and
  hiring people for global organizations. 
  Preferred experience recruiting people for global health or
  development NGOs. 4-year college degree required; masters degree
  preferred.
• Sourcing
  savvy.  You are able to find and
  reach out to passive candidates with personalized messages that build
  relationships and prompt talented people to apply. You can use online
  recruiting tools to identify great prospects.  You are proficient in Boolean.
• Organizational
  skills.  You are able to lead
  searches through methodical steps and to adhere to timelines.  You have the ability to multitask – to
  manage multiple searches for positions that are at different stages. 
• Computer
  skills – You are comfortable with Microsoft office and know how to use
  applicant tracking systems to track candidates and analyze
  recruiting.  
• Collaborative
  spirit.  We want someone who
  actively listens and communicates. 
  Who can connect easily with her team and gain their trust and
  respect.  Who can roll up their
  sleeves and help others out in a pinch.
• Problem
  solving skills.  You have the
  intelligence to anticipate challenges and the resourcefulness to find
  solutions.
• Flexibility.
  Sometimes you will have 3 months to recruit someone for a position;
  sometimes you will have only a week. 
  You are comfortable in a fast paced environment with fluid
  deadlines.
• Analysis
  skills.  You are able to ability to
  compare candidates and offer guidance to hiring managers on candidate
  strengths and weaknesses.  You can
  identify recruitment problems and propose solutions. 
• Gets
  our model. Living Goods is a hybrid model. 
  We’re a nonprofit organization with a business minded
  approach.  We use business practices
  to achieve social goals.  Candidates
  with for-profit and nonprofit experience preferred.
• Lives
  our values. You can thrive in our culture – you can demonstrate inclusion,
  integrity, innovation, quick footedness, collaboration, and accountability.
