Report Highlights Association Staffing Challenges

Competition for talent is greater than ever

Most associations are planning on recruiting new staff in the coming year, according to PNP Staffing Group aka Professionals for Nonprofits’ 2018 Nonprofit Salaries and Staffing Trends Report. In fact, 80 percent of survey respondents plan on hiring in 2018, citing increasing numbers of retirees, employee turnover and program growth as the main reasons.

Upward of 1,500 nonprofit organizations participated in the survey, which was segmented into three marketplaces—New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. —and includes salary ranges across 44 positions in the nonprofit world.

“It is a candidate market in the sense that the unemployment rate is a low 4 percent,” said Gayle Brandel, CEO of PNP Staffing Group. “And as baby boomers are now giving leadership posts over to millennials, the competition for experienced talent has really hit an all-time high. It is also fueled by the fact that there’s growth in the sector. Nonprofits are growing, and it is most certainly more competitive than ever to find the talent to bring on board.”
