That being said, even as they face complex challenges, non-profits can provide distinctive environments for high-performing, mission-driven talent.

Employee attrition can have significant financial impacts on a company.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
|
|
|
Every week, clients and readers send in their job-search questions to be addressed in our weekly career corner. Check out this recent question and Ana’s answer:
“I know that AI has been a big revolution in the job search/recruiting process. What do you think will be the next big revolution?”
I do believe that AI and technology in general will continue to play a big role in the job-seeking and recruiting process. Here are realistic possibilities:
- As more and more job-seekers use tools like ChatGPT to write cover letters, more employers will question the value of cover letters/no longer require them.
- Your online presence will play an increasingly important role in your job search. My clients often share that hiring teams are looking at their LinkedIn profiles as soon as they submit their applications.
- You may never have to manually input your resume content into an application again - hopefully, automation will do that for you!
- With the rise of so much automation, access to real people early in a hiring process may be limited - you may find yourself engaging with company chat bots, conducting more one-way-interviews, and receiving automated messaging throughout your process.
So many of these shifts are already underway - you may have experienced many of them in a recent job search. My advice? Audit your online presence, especially any public social media profiles (whether Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or others). Make sure you avoid using graphics/charts on your resumes - they often get scrambled in the applicant tracking systems used by employers. And if you find yourself confused on a new platform, ask for help from those you trust!
