Measured Tones Institute ( MTI ) is a leading nonprofit organization focused on preserving and promoting the Quranic Arabic Lanaguage. As an education-based nonprofit, MTI, like many similar organizations, faced challenges in accessing recruitment tools and project management expertise needed to grow their operations and fulfill their mission.
Problem Statement:
MTI struggled with expanding their team and balancing stakeholder demands due to the lack of structured recruiting processes and project management systems. Without proper tools in place, they were unable to scale their operations or find the right candidates to support their mission of promoting Islamic Arts education.
Approach:
QPC, led by their team’s expertise in recruitment and Agile methodologies, worked with MTI to address these issues. The solution involved:
- A Customized 3-Step Screening Process: QPC developed a structured recruitment process, allowing MTI to assess potential candidates’ strengths and alignment with their organizational values.
- Social Media Optimization: QPC helped MTI enhance their outreach by implementing targeted social media strategies, widening their reach to prospective candidates and community members.
- Agile Implementation: QPC introduced Agile and Scrum practices to help streamline MTI’s project management, ensuring that the team could balance stakeholder demands and improve operational efficiency.
Within just one month, QPC was able to provide a uniquely qualified candidate to serve as MTI’s Product Owner/Project Manager, expanding the nonprofit’s operational capacity.
Outcome and Impact:
The partnership with QPC had both short-term and long-term benefits for MTI:
- Enhanced Exposure: MTI’s exposure increased, leading to more visibility within their target audience and a higher caliber of candidate applications.
- Agile Operations: The implementation of Agile practices significantly improved MTI’s operational velocity by 200%, allowing the organization to handle projects more efficiently.
- Internal Growth: With the new hire in place and a structured recruitment process, MTI was able to grow its internal operations, expand their services, and reach new audiences interested in Islamic Arts education.
Summary:
Through QPC’s tailored recruitment and project management support, MTI was able to overcome its challenges, bringing in the right talent and implementing Agile methodologies to enhance its operational effectiveness. The result was not only an immediate improvement in MTI’s recruiting process but also a sustainable growth strategy that allowed the nonprofit to expand its services and promote Islamic Arts education on a broader scale.
