It is usually associated with a major success in funding and launching a new project. The people who gave birth to a new project now need someone to join them in actually implementing the project. We do not search for "employees," but for people to who we can trust our funds and success. We invest in them and expect them to do the same with others who join later! | ||
It is a challenge for us to identify people who meet the criteria for the expected type of work, but also who fit with our team. All hiring is a formal, transparent and fair process.</p> | It is a challenge for us to identify people who meet the criteria for the expected type of work, but also who fit with our team. | ||
The "right" candidate has the following profile: | |||
# Is equipped, trained and capable of implementing the particular project and/or tasks better than the others, and focuses on their supervision-free implementation. | |||
# Understands that the financial support s/he enjoys is temporary and should be understood as grace period. | |||
# Agrees to begin on Day 1 her/his search for co-funding, finding new funds, new projects, designing new interventions having always in mind the need to "payback" the opportunity s/he enjoyed, stabilize her/his own income, and create analogous opportunities for others. | |||

<P Align="justify">Job openings are advertised widely. Every applicant is expected to submit by email a CV, a letter describing the reasons why s/he wants to join and why s/he feels that s/he fits our culture, and some references. We interview all those who submit complete packages and go through the effort of “studying” our organization. In the first round of interviews, each panel member can ask any questions they want and give marks to specific criteria we are evaluating. A blind sum/average process results in a short list of a 3-5 people. In the next round we go in more depth and try to identify those who really share our philosophy, are capable hard workers, and most importantly will be fun to work with.</p> | <P Align="justify">Job openings are advertised widely.
