Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does Scion ensure compliance with Washington’s Pay Transparency Law?

We take compliance seriously. Under Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, all job postings must include a wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits. Scion Nonprofit Staffing ensures that every role we advertise for your organization meets these strict legal requirements, protecting you from liability while signaling transparency to candidates.

Can you find nonprofit candidates with technical skills for our data/IT needs?

Yes. Seattle is a tech hub, and we specialize in finding the intersection of “tech and mission.” We actively recruit candidates from the corporate tech sector who are looking to pivot into nonprofit work, bringing valuable skills in data analysis, CRM management (Salesforce/Raiser’s Edge), and digital strategy to your organization.

Do you work with organizations outside of Seattle city limits?

Absolutely. We serve the entire Pacific Northwest. We have a strong track record of placing staff with nonprofits in Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, and Olympia. Whether you are a land trust in the Cascades or a housing agency in Pierce County, our network covers your region.
