Political hiring is fast-paced and often overwhelming. As a hiring manager, you might find yourself doing three jobs: the job of hiring, the job you’re hiring for, and your job. This can lead to hiring processes that are unprofessional, inequitable, and leave job seekers in the dark.
Arena is here to help you run a smart, equitable, and communicative hiring process that lands top talent on your team. Check out our suite of free tools to level up your hiring process:
Progressive organizations, campaigns, firms, and other employers in the progressive political space have a responsibility to implement hiring practices that align with their values. But despite public commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion, many organizations within the space continue to run hiring processes that reinforce inequities. It’s time to change that.
We invite you to sign this pledge and commit to working towards putting your organizational values into action in your hiring processes.
Training teams is hard, and you’ve got work to do. So let us take training off your plate. Arena has trained thousands of people on campaign management, finance, data, digital, and organizing.
