In Ethical Recruitment of Fundraisers, Bruce draws on decades of experience to challenge outdated hiring practices and promote a values-based approach to recruitment. The course explores key principles such as pay transparency, inclusive job design, and unconscious bias.
Led by Bruce Tait, FCIOF, this practical and thought-provoking course challenges outdated hiring practices and introduces a values-driven approach to recruiting fundraisers. Drawing on decades of experience, Bruce explores how ethical recruitment can transform organisational culture and improve diversity, fairness, and performance.
Participants will learn how to embed principles such as pay transparency, inclusive job design, and assessing candidates based on potential rather than privilege. Attendees will gain the tools and confidence to design recruitment processes that attract and retain talented, mission-aligned fundraisers. By the end of the session, participants will understand how ethical recruitment not only builds stronger teams but also strengthens trust, reputation, and long-term impact across the fundraising profession.
Each module consists of a video that is 15 - 20 minutes long.
