When to hire

When one person runs every channel

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

First function cut Communications loses budget before anything else does.
Donors hear nothing Supporters get contacted only when there is an ask.
Reporting written from memory Funder updates get assembled the week they are due.
One person, every channel Email, social and campaigns share a single seat.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • Communications is cut first when budgets tighten.
  • Supporters only hear from you at appeals.
  • Donor reports get written the week they are due.
  • One person runs email, social and campaigns.
  • The team is blamed when donations fall.
  • Beneficiary stories never get told.

Model fit

Where your communications staff work best

Hire in the US when
  • Spokesperson duties need a domestic voice
  • In person events need attendance
  • Board reporting happens in the room
Hire globally when
  • Campaign delivery is scheduled content work
  • Email programs run in your platform
  • Social scheduling is daily routine

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Campaign delivery Global Scheduled content work, staffs globally
Email program management Global Platform work with no location benefit
Social channel scheduling Global Daily routine, runs from anywhere
Donor report production Global Document work, staffs globally
Spokesperson duties US direct hire Need a domestic voice
In person event communications US direct hire Attended on the day
Newsletter production Global Content work, staffs globally
Website content updates Global Platform work, runs from anywhere

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

Who hires Marketing and Communications staff through HireHawk?

Mostly Nonprofit. The desk looks similar across sectors while the vocabulary and the software change, so candidates are matched on the stack you run and the volume you carry rather than on an industry label. That keeps one recruiter accountable for the whole Marketing and Communications desk instead of splitting it across vendors.

Which communications seat should we hire first?

Usually the Communications Coordinator, because it covers the widest range of what a small team needs day to day. Organizations with a real email list often get more from an Email Marketing Specialist first. We will ask which audience you are underserving, supporters or funders, before recommending.

Can nonprofit communications be staffed globally?

Yes, nearly all of it. Campaign delivery, email programs, content and social channels are remote work, and this is the cost point that matters: a global seat often fits inside a program budget where a local hire would not. In-person event communications stay local.

How quickly can we add communications capacity?

Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. If you are staffing before a campaign or an appeal, starting now means content is being planned rather than written the week before.

Can we add communications help for one campaign?

Yes. Fully managed global seats run month to month, so you can add capacity for an appeal or a campaign and release it after, with no severance exposure. US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. Many organizations find the campaign seat is the one they end up keeping.

Can this fit a nonprofit budget?

That is the reason the page exists. Global Fully Managed starts from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which often fits inside a program budget line where a domestic hire would not. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront.

Do you work with small organizations?

Yes, and most of this desk's placements are single seats rather than teams. If your communications function is currently half of somebody's job, one dedicated seat usually doubles output. We will say plainly on the call if we think you need less than a full seat.

How do we serve donors and beneficiaries at once?

By writing for them separately and scheduling both. The failure we see is a calendar built entirely around fundraising moments, so beneficiaries hear nothing between campaigns. A dedicated seat is what makes the second audience get planned rather than squeezed in.
