Scion's current temporary staffing materials state that qualified temporary talent is typically presented within 3–5 business days, depending on the role and requirements.
Does Scion recruit for Atlanta associations and 501(c)(6) organizations?

Why use a specialized nonprofit recruiting firm instead of a general staffing agency?
Nonprofit hiring often requires candidates to navigate mission alignment, boards and governance, donor or member relationships, restricted funding, grants, community stakeholders, and resource-conscious operating environments. A specialized nonprofit recruiting partner can evaluate candidates with that context in mind rather than focusing only on functional skills.
How do we start an Atlanta nonprofit staffing search with Scion?
Start by submitting Scion's Request Staff form with the role, location, hiring type, compensation information, timeline, and job description if available. A recruiting specialist can then follow up to discuss the search and the staffing or recruiting model that best fits your need.
