Philanthropy and Employer/Candidate Selection

Volunteering can help potential candidates acquire skills or knowledge that wouldn’t normally come from an employer or a current position. A candidate who volunteers locally or with a reputable organization shows initiative and true care for their communities. Volunteering in your personal time shows you are self-motivated and passionate for a cause. Because you do not get paid for your volunteering efforts, this shows that compensation is not the source of your personal motivation. Volunteering can also expand your network and help you stay social. The selflessness, ambition, and specific passions shown through volunteering is very attractive to an employer.

Employers who offer paid time off for volunteer work, or organize team volunteering projects during work hours, tend to have and attract better-quality long-term employees. For job seekers, especially today’s young work force, how an employer is involved in their community is important. They are looking at how the employers are helping the world by giving back. In the 2016 Cone Communications Millennial Employee Engagement Study, 64% of Millennials said that they would reject a job offer to a company that wasn’t socially responsible. 75% said that that they were willing to take a salary cut to work for a company that mirrored their own personal values. As you can see, for many, it is just as important to work for a job with a meaningful and purposefully driven mission, as it is the actual job role.
