Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Yvette Marsh from the LSU Foundation discusses the importance of transferable skills in the recruitment and selection process. She highlights the frustration of traditional recruiting efforts and the need for a new approach. The LSU Foundation has adopted a strategy of looking beyond traditional backgrounds and focusing on transferable skills when hiring new employees. They have changed their job postings to remove requirements for specific experience or number of years in the field. Instead, they ask interview questions that assess a candidate's capacity and desire to do the job, as well as their willingness to build their skillset. They have also implemented role play scenarios, behavioral assessments, and contact reports to better identify transferable skills in candidates. Marsh emphasizes the value of transferable skills in a changing fundraising landscape and the importance of creating a welcoming and engaging environment for employees with non-traditional backgrounds. Overall, the LSU Foundation has seen success in recruiting and onboarding employees with transferable skills, and they believe that this approach will continue to gain importance in the future.
