More and more, churches are doing what smart corporations have done for years: use staffing specialists to help identify the very best people for their teams.<\/p>\n

Last month, two of the leading search firms in the church world united. The Vanderbloemen Search Group<\/a> (specializing in large church executive searches) and Help Staff Me<\/a> (specializing in mid-level staff) have combined their resources and expanded their network of relationships.<\/p>\n

In the wake of their merger, several prominent church leaders interviewed William Vanderbloemen<\/a> and Justin Lathrop<\/a>, the two companies’ founders, to talk about trends they are seeing in church staffing in a variety of specialties.<\/p>\n

Since more than 65% of my readers are in a church leadership position, I’ve compiled several of these posts as a resource:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rick Warren’s website, Pastors.com, interviewed William and Justin about trends they are seeing in staffing<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Tim Stevens, who hires almost exclusively from within, asked, “Why hire from the outside?<\/a>”<\/li>\n
  3. Josh Griffin, a leading Student Pastor asked, “How do I become an indispensable staff pastor?<\/a>”<\/li>\n
  4. Mark Howell explored small group trends<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Scott Williams, a leading church blogger, asked, “What key questions<\/a> should I ask when looking for a team member?”<\/li>\n
  6. Tony Morgan talked with William about the looming succession planning crisis<\/a> in the church.<\/li>\n
  7. Michael Lukasweski is about to plant a church in New York City. He asked the guys for particular pointers in staffing for large city churches<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. Jim Sheppard, a generosity guru, asked about coming changes<\/a> in church staffing.<\/li>\n
  9. Kent Shaffer, another popular blogger, wrote a great article on, “How to Fill Church Jobs with Quality Leadership<\/a>.”<\/li>\n
  10. Greg Atkinson asked for a pointers on getting promoted<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  11. Rhett Smith dove into the topic of staff chemistry<\/a> and how teams can work better together.<\/li>\n
  12. Bryan Miles asked William to quickly explain the value of conducting a search process<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  13. Herbert Cooper, pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the U.S., asked what fast growing churches should look for in staff<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  14. Vision consultant Will Mancini explored the importance of vision clarity<\/a> when staffing.<\/li>\n
  15. Shawn Lovejoy, head of Churchplanters.com, asked the guys to give advice to church planters<\/a> about staffing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are a church or ministry looking to hire, or a candidate seeking job search advice, contact these guys<\/a> or submit your resume<\/a>. They are confidential, professional, and have the unusual combination of real-time church experience and corporate search work.<\/p>\n

    You can also follow William<\/a> and Justin<\/a> on Twitter for regular insights on staffing and career trends.<\/p>\n
