Janssen & Associates Seeks New Leaders for Non-Profits
May 23, 2017 – The economic strength of the non-profit field has increased in recent years, making it the third largest employer in the U.S. Nearly two million not-for-profits employ 10.7 million people and produce more than $1.9 trillion in revenue. In the past decade, employment in the sector grew by 17 percent. With demand for non-profit talent at an all-time high, search firms are more than busy looking for candidates.
Recently, the Global Women’s Leadership Network and the Junior Center of Art and Science each turned to Janssen & Associates Recruiting to help find new executive directors.
