Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does Scion handle California’s Pay Transparency Law (SB 1162)?
Compliance is non-negotiable. Under California Senate Bill 1162, all employers with 15 or more employees must include a pay scale in any job posting. Scion Nonprofit Staffing ensures that every role we advertise for you includes a compliant, good-faith salary range. We also advise on how to structure these ranges to remain competitive in the Los Angeles market while adhering to the law.
Can you help us recruit for foundations connected to the entertainment industry?
Yes. We have extensive experience working with private family foundations, corporate social responsibility (CSR) departments, and industry-affiliated nonprofits. We understand the high level of discretion, professionalism, and stakeholder management required for these sensitive and high-profile roles.
How do you handle LA’s traffic and geography when recruiting?
“Geography is destiny” in Los Angeles recruitment. We heavily factor in commute times and remote/hybrid work flexibility when screening candidates. By targeting talent that lives within a reasonable distance of your office (or is willing to relocate), we significantly increase long-term employee retention and reduce burnout.
