Recruitment at MAD

When we add someone to the team, we are looking at not just their skills and capability but how they fit in culturally and with the rest of the tight knit collective.

LETTER TO APPLICANTS

Greetings, I have been a part of MAD for the last seven years in various profiles and capacities and here is what I have noticed.

The MAD recruitment process for Directors and Associates is meant to be a journey rather than specific milestone because that is how closely we look at people before we hand over the reigns of a team to them. Because as a MAD Director or Associate, your decisions and actions have far-reaching impact the children and volunteers we work with today and the 35 million children we will work with one day.

Which is why, I must tell you that as a MAD Employee, you will be pushed: by yourself. Over and over. In order to become the best version of itself. You will compulsively scrutinize and monitor outputs and outcomes to make your plans adaptable over weeks and days, not months and years. You will fall in love with a problem or a challenge enough to be up all night trying to create something functional that can be rolled out to the country.

You will work with a team of cause focussed people who will have your back: no matter what. You will find solidarity in a tight knit family of 40 where you will not be alone when you work on problems. You will learn. So much so that you will not recognise yourself and your approach one year in. You will learn to love, serve and admire the 3000 young leaders across the footprint. You will collaborate with teams and people to create plans that will change the life of a child in a shelter far far away from you. Who you will see smiling, laughing and playing when you visit a shelter on a city visit and know that you have made a difference.

I say this because, honestly, MAD is not for everybody. And there is nothing wrong if it's not for you. By now, I am speaking to those of you who are still with me. You can go the rest of your life selling sugared water or you can come join MAD and change the world.

Do more than just a job. The choice is yours

Vrishi Reddy
Director, Human Capital, Make A Difference
