Case Study: Marin Community Foundation achieves a 10x increase in pipeline diversity with Findem

How Findem helped the Marin Community Foundation to achieve a 10x increase in its pipeline diversity

Marin Community Foundation (MCF), a San Francisco Bay Area philanthropic organization managing $3 billion in assets, faced recruiting challenges: a small in-house talent team, high costs and limited diversity from outsourced searches, and no automated way to ensure skills and diversity attributes matched hiring needs. To address this, MCF implemented Findem’s talent sourcing platform to improve precision and transparency in hiring.

Findem provided attribute-driven searches, automated shortlists, diversity dashboards, and personalized outreach campaigns so MCF could target candidates by skills, experience, and demographic attributes. The result: a 10x increase in pipeline diversity, a 60%+ reduction in time-to-hire (from 3–6 months to under 2 months), saving recruiters about one day per week, and freeing up 70% of the recruiting budget for other priorities — with the first Findem search producing a quick, quality hire.
