Good Morning, I have a few questions on talent management and a talent management position in your Advancement shops. 1. Do any of you have such a position in your Advancement shop? 2. If so, at what point and for what reasons did you decide you needed such a position? 3. If you have a position, can you share a job description? 4. If you have any additional thoughts on this, would you share please? Thanks a lot. Rob -- Rob Saunders Assistant Vice Chancellor, Advancement Operations University of North Carolina Greensboro 821 S.

I think you’re talking about what could be called a recruiting manager, who is also called a talent recruitment manager… If I’m right, then, yes, Cornell, my last employer, has one. I don’t have access to her job description. But I would imagine that a good talent manager knows how to find talent and then how to recruit, including reaching out, cultivating relationships, showing up at conferences to meet people, and bring people to your shop to entice them to apply. In other words, a gift officer-style person who seeks good employees. Given the competition for good fundraisers, I think it’s a good idea. --Marianne ________________________________________ Marianne M.

Rob, My current institution does not but Northwestern does. The role is Associate Director, Talent Acquisition and Resources and one of the things they do is host regular (generally monthly) informational meetings about working in the Alumni and Relations Development office. There's a brief overview of the org structure and the campaign and then an ARD staff comes in and talks about their role and how they interact with the rest of the office. Generally, more information would be listed (https://wewill.northwestern.edu/s/1479/282-giving/list-campaign.aspx?sid=1479&gid=282&pgid=8087) but I think their Associate Director is currently out on maternity leave so the sessions won't start up again until April.
