The staff at Work for Progress have also been very accommodating in terms of providing technical support along the way." - Heather Brutz, Clean Energy Works Field Operations Coordinator

"In 2008, Progressive Future launched a massive voter outreach campaign. In a six month window, Work for Progress recruited and placed over 500 new organizers and canvass directors to work for us in twelve states. I highly recommend their work." - Brad Martin, Progressive Future Executive Director Read the Case Study

Why Your Campaign or Organization Should Hire Work for Progress

* Our staff have years of experience recruiting, screening, and interviewing staff for all levels of positions in dozens of cities across the country. We have particular expertise in hiring for non-profit organizations and progressive campaigns. We have a proven track record - in 2008 alone we recruited and placed over 500 staff.

* We're a nonprofit organization. We come from nonprofit advocacy organizations and we understand what you are trying to accomplish and the tight budget you work under. And we value the hard work it took to raise those funds.

* From our years of recruiting for non-profit organizations and campaigns, we've tested and found which job boards provide the most bang for the buck and that's where we focus our efforts. That, we're not complacent; we're always looking out for new places to post ads to generate more high quality applicants.

* Because we are always hiring staff for several employers at once, we will often already have applicants in our pipeline that may be suitable for one of your openings. This can save you a lot of time over starting from scratch (and we all know – time is money).

* We can handle every aspect of the staff recruitment process, from placing effective ads in the places proven to yield the best results and screening high volumes of applicant resumes, to conducting interviews by phone or in person and maintaining a smooth and swift process from start to finish, for hundreds of applicants at once.

* We can customize our recruitment package to fit your specific needs, whether that means handling the whole kit and caboodle so that you can spend your valuable time focused on your programmatic work, or whether it means simply taking some of the more time-consuming pieces off of your plate, such as ad placement and resume screening.

* We work with you to make sure we are only spending time with applicants who meet all your desired qualifications, so that we can provide you with staff you are excited to work with.

* We are a small, centralized operation – so although we handle a high volume of job applicants, we are able to give you the personalized attention you need.
