Partnering with the local community college can provide a pool of potential candidates who are interested in gaining experience and are likely to be enthusiastic about the nonprofit's mission. Testing students through internships also allows Charlie to train potential candidates and evaluate their skills before committing to a full-time hire. Choice A is unethical and can damage the nonprofit's reputation in the long run. Choice B is not a sustainable solution, and relying on volunteers for important roles may lead to inconsistency and may not attract the required skills or commitment. Choice D can be costly and may not attract the kind of candidate Charlie needs for the role.
