That's why Taproot launched Skills-First Hiring for Nonprofit Impact, in partnership with @SHRM Foundation and with support from @WalmartOrg—to bring pro bono HR expertise directly to nonprofits who are ready to modernize how they hire. 2/3

The nonprofit sector is the third largest employer in the United States—and one of our greatest champions of economic opportunity. Skills-first hiring is gaining ground across the private sector, while nonprofits often lack the HR capacity to make the shift. 1/3

Great talent fuels great impact, not only in nonprofit workplaces but also across the communities they serve. #SkillsFirstHiring #NonprofitLeaders #Probono #nonprofit #communityimpact

We saw a 60% increase in applications for skills-based volunteer programs in 2024-2025. This continued growth of pro bono service reflects a broader shift: employees want meaningful connection, skill development, and the chance to contribute in ways that matter. 2/2
