Stop Looking for the Unicorn!

How to Expand Your Candidate Pool

 

If you’re like most employers, you’ve been facing a dearth of qualified applicants in recent months. Why? It has to do with the way job seekers have shifted their requirements. Work-life balance, remote work, culture and compensation are among some of the priorities that have risen to the forefront for most candidates. In addition, many people are looking for a career pivot only to be thwarted by “unicorn” job requirements.

 

So, the question for association leaders is: Will you start flexing to the job market or continue to miss out on great candidates? It takes foresight, strategy…and yes, being open to people who “don’t check every box twice” to become competitive in today’s candidate-centric market. Shira Lotzar, a seasoned association recruiter, career coach and executive coach will facilitate a thought-provoking discussion that will encourage you to rethink your hiring approach – and more importantly, your mindset - so you can start expanding your candidate pool and continue moving your association’s mission forward.

Content Leader

Shira Lotzar, Chief Engagement Officer of Purposeful Hire, is committed to finding the “higher purpose” in every hire. Within her association recruiting, career coaching and executive coaching practices, Shira creates highly engaged workplaces by focusing on the mutual purpose of both employers and job seekers. Shira is a regular speaker at DC area job seeker groups and association peer networks. She has served on the boards of the HR Leadership Forum and DCSHRM and leads an association CEO peer roundtable entitled CASE (Consortium of Association Staff Executives.)

 

A fervent champion of age diversity, Shira launched BoomerWorks.org, a volunteer community program empowering professionals age 50+ to transition into self-employment. Through an epiphany in 2013, she became profoundly aware that this age cohort requires new income solutions as they “age out” of the traditional W2 workforce. Shira earned a Master’s degree in Public Relations with a focus on employee communications from the University of Maryland.
