Notes

Did you face challenges during this year's NYC Service AmeriCorps recruitment season? If so, what were the challenges? If you were a host site in the past, did you face these challenges in previous years?

We did not receive many candidates.
Just didn't have any candidates
It took us a while to find a candidate but we did find someone great
It was difficult to find suitable candidates.
A little hard explaining and distinguishing what our position was to staff and to potential people
The sequencing of the hiring process is extremely awkward and puts pressure on hiring managers (and, I assume, candidates) to make decisions knowing they have less than full information
Just with not having many applicants.
We've had issues with making sure start dates
The only challenge was that the selected candidate was unresponsive
Mostly the candidates did not come across as having the communication skills needed to work in our unit;
Unable to answer this is my first time.
Extent of required documentation and planning ahead in a fast-paced work environment
Candidates didn't show up for the interviews or return emails.
Yes, again not having the some of the materials from the past did make a difference.
Small of candidates, not many options.
