Case Study: Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula achieves 13.5x more applicants and reduced turnover with Jobvite Hire

Jobvite helps boys and girls club find outstanding mentors for low-income youth

Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, a San Francisco Bay Area nonprofit that provides mentorship and opportunities for low-income youth, struggled to compete with nearby tech employers for talented, long‑term staff. With a very small HR team, no applicant tracking system and high part‑time turnover (about 36%), the organization needed a more strategic, scalable way to find and retain high‑caliber mentors and program staff.

Implementing Jobvite Hire gave the team reporting to identify the best talent sources and customizable messaging to engage candidates personally, improving ROI on sourcing. The result was dramatically higher applicant volume (more than tenfold), better-quality hires and significantly reduced turnover (part‑time turnover fell from ~36% to ~24%), strengthening the club’s ability to serve youth long term.
