New Report Identifies Who is Most Likely to Succeed in Fundraising
Performance Programs announces a new personality-based assessment that identifies the talents and experiences that can lead to success in the growing field of nonprofit professional fundraising. Easy online tests and reports show a “high,” “medium,” or “low” fit between the individual and the position.
Old Saybrook, CT (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- Who is most likely to succeed as a fundraising executive? Performance Programs, Inc. now offers NPEdge Job Fit Assessments to identify who has the "edge" for this growing career track in all types of nonprofit organizations, including schools, hospitals, museums, foundations, charities, and many others. These personality-based assessments locate the key temperamental characteristics important to fundraising jobs.
Each individual’s personal report contains clear, easy-to-interpret, graphics-rich results that show a “high,” “medium,” or “low” fit between the individual and the position.
The reports were developed by executive recruiter David Edell, who specializes in placing executives with nonprofit organizations. Edell learned from years of experience that it's difficult to find effective fundraising professionals. He particularly noticed that employers and job candidates alike often assume, erroneously, that success in sales is a good indicator of potential success in fundraising. Edell joined with Paul Connolly, Ph.D., an expert in assessments for the workplace, to develop personality-based tools that would help employers and candidates alike find the right job fit.
Because there are several types of fundraising job, individuals and employers can choose between two reports: Fundraiser Generalist and Major Gifts Professional. The NPEdge web site offers suggestions to select the appropriate report.
Note to nonprofit employers: An optional interview guide is also available, including customized questions based on test results. It is designed to make interviews more productive and predictive.
The assessments were created under special arrangement with Hogan Assessment Systems and are based on the Hogan Selection Series. The underlying test is the Hogan Personality Inventory, a test well validated by thirty years of job personality research and which creates no adverse impact. NPEdge reports are also supported by additional original research with successful fundraising professionals in well established nonprofit organizations.
Performance Programs, Inc. is a leading distributor for Hogan Assessments and an authorized provider of Hogan Certification Workshops. Performance Programs specializes in surveys, tests, and assessments of all types for human resources management, including job personality testing, employee surveys, 360 feedback, and employee engagement assessments.
