Case Study: a Chicago based nonprofit expands tax assistance capacity with The Planet Group

a Chicago based nonprofit places a dozen volunteers with The Planet Group

The Planet Group partnered with a Chicago-based nonprofit that provides free financial services, including tax assistance through the IRS's VITA program. The client faced a significant challenge: they needed to rapidly scale their staffing to manage a high volume of requests for the upcoming tax season and required a partner to handle the bulk recruitment.

The Planet Group implemented a full-cycle recruitment solution, sourcing and vetting tax and accounting personnel while also assisting candidates through the IRS certification process. As a result, The Planet Group quickly placed a dozen qualified candidates and volunteers, enabling the nonprofit to effectively launch its VITA program on time and provide crucial tax assistance to its community.
