We believe oppressive systems and practices have to be uprooted from every corner of our lives, including the way we hire.

Going through a hiring process is one of the most vulnerable things we ask people to do. We ask candidates to tell us their stories. To make meaning of where they’ve been. To name what they’ve accomplished, what they’ve learned, and what they hope to build next. And then we ask them to trust that the people on the other side will see the fullness of what they bring.

That’s why how we hire matters.

For us, uprooting means questioning who gets seen as a leader, what we count as expertise, whose experiences are valued, and who gets access to the rooms where decisions are made.

It means actively dismantling bias and practices rooted in white dominant culture, and building something different in their place: hiring processes that recognize lived experience as expertise, share power, center humanity, and create more equitable pathways to leadership.

You can’t grow in the same place that poisoned you.
We must uproot and grow in new, fertile ground. 🌱

That’s the why behind our name.
And the work we’re committed to every day.

Hiring with care is revolutionary.

Not every question you’re asked in an interview is one you have to answer.

Questions about your race or color, religion, age, s*x or gender identity, s*xual orientation, marital or parental status, or other personal characteristics generally shouldn’t be part of evaluating whether you’re qualified for a role.

And knowing the difference matters.

isn’t just about landing the interview. It’s also about knowing your rights as a candidate, recognizing when something crosses a line, and feeling prepared to navigate it.

Inside the BLOC Resource Hub, you’ll find Know Your Rights as a Candidate, a quick reference to help you understand what employers can and generally shouldn’t ask during an interview.

Because being prepared also means knowing what you’re there to be evaluated on and what you don’t have to disclose.

You’ll also find tools like:

▪️ Job Applications Tracker to keep your search organized, track the details that matter, and stay on top of every opportunity.
▪️ Bringing Clarity: What Season Are You In? to help you pause before your next move and get clear on what you want, what you bring, and what you need to thrive.
▪️ 16 Practical (and Unspoken) Tips on How to Work With Recruiters so you can navigate the process with more clarity and intention.
▪️ Job Search Strategy & Interview Prep Workshop to help you position your story, navigate the process, and prepare beyond the application.

Our founder, Stephanie Castellanos, is first-gen, a first-time homebuyer, and recently moved to a cabin in a magical forest! 🌲

Stephanie grew up low-income in a family that always rented. Homeownership wasn’t something she grew up knowing much about, let alone something she knew how to navigate.

Then, a couple years ago, she bought the cabin of her dreams.

Mind you, she’s been a city girl her ENTIRE life. 😂 What started as a weekend and summer getaway, plus a whole lot of DIY’ing and remodeling, recently became her family’s permanent home.

Buying her first home was exciting. Navigating the process was a whole other story.

The paperwork. The FHA requirements. The hoops that came with being a business owner. At some point, it felt like they were asking for proof of life. LOL.

She figured it out along the way, but really wishes she knew about Neighborhood Housing Services of the Inland Empire (NHSIE) then.

NHSIE helps people navigate homeownership through education and housing counseling, lending and down payment assistance, foreclosure prevention, and more. Exactly the kind of support that can make a world of difference when you’re navigating this for the first time.

And now, we get to work closely with NHSIE to hire their first Director of Programs & Operations, a leader who will help strengthen this work and expand what’s possible for families across the Inland Empire.

Is this you or someone you know?

“Unskilled labor” is a myth.

The people who harvest our food, clean our buildings, care for our children and elders, prepare our meals, stock our shelves, move our goods, and build our communities are highly skilled workers.

Their work requires knowledge, precision, endurance, experience, and expertise.

Calling labor “unskilled” has never been a neutral description. It shapes whose work we value, whose wages we justify keeping low, and whose expertise we choose to recognize.

Workers know what they’re doing.
Workers have expertise.
And workers have power.

This Labor Day, we honor the skill, knowledge, and power of working people.

Let’s talk about salary. 💰

As an executive search firm, we spend a lot of time talking about compensation, with organizations setting salary ranges and with candidates deciding what to ask for and whether an offer works for them.

So, here’s our best advice:

1️⃣ Do your research.
Look beyond one salary website. Research comparable roles and consider geography, scope, organization size, experience, specialized expertise, and internal equity. The goal is to understand the market well enough to make an informed ask. For nonprofits, you can run a google search of “”990 [Name of Organization]”” to learn more about their overall budget, the top 5 salaries on the team, and financial health (e.g., investments, stock, etc.)

2️⃣ Know your number, your why, and your priorities.
What are you asking for? What experience, expertise, and market data support that number? And what matters most to you beyond salary? What’s the season of your life that you’re current in? All of these questions can help bring clarity before having the conversation.

3️⃣ Consider the full package.
Depending on the organization, there may be room to negotiate professional development, remote or hybrid flexibility, a signing bonus, benefits contributions, title, scope, or other elements of the offer.

4️⃣ Know that negotiation is expected.
Recruiters and hiring managers generally expect candidates to negotiate, even if it’s just a little. The goal isn’t simply to “get more.” It’s to make sure the offer reflects the value you bring and meets your needs.

Compensation conversations can feel uncomfortable. Preparation changes that.

Do the research. Know what you value. Be ready to articulate both.

And if you need help preparing, we’ve got more tools in the BLOC Resource Hub. 🖤🤎
