The Curated Pipeline
When the mission is invaluable, but the budget is non-existent.
An NGO leader who couldn't afford recruiters, and couldn't afford three hundred unqualified résumés either.
- The challenge
- An NGO leader who couldn't afford agency placement fees, or the hours each week to sift 300 unqualified résumés.
- How we helped
- Wrote the job descriptions, ran the postings and screened every applicant.
- What changed
- A shortlist of three vetted candidates, ready to interview, at a fraction of agency cost.
Our client leads an NGO dedicated to serving underprivileged children.
Her days are spent fighting for futures, but her nights were being swallowed by a different kind of battle: her inbox.
She needed a strong team to keep the center running, but she was trapped in the recruitment middle ground.
Traditional firms were quoting placement fees that could have funded months of programs for her kids. She couldn't afford the recruiters, and she definitely couldn't afford to spend hours a week sifting through 300 unqualified resumes.
She was stuck. The mission was stalling because the “tedious” was winning.
We realized that for leaders like her, the “standard” model was broken. So, we built a new one: The Curated Pipeline.
The Kinna solution
We took over the heavy lifting: writing job descriptions, managing the noise of job postings and screening the applicants.
We didn't send her a database, we sent her the top three. The best, vetted and ready. We gave her a bespoke result at a fraction of the cost, because we believe the right talent shouldn't be a luxury.
What we took over
- Job descriptions
- Job postings & applicant management
- Screening
- A shortlist of three vetted candidates
The outcome
We enabled her to stop sifting and start interviewing.
