DaMar Staffing Supports Mission-Critical Staffing

Indianapolis Urban League
 

Client Overview

The Indianapolis Urban League serves as a vital community anchor, empowering African-Americans and disadvantaged individuals to achieve social and economic equality. Through comprehensive programs in education, workforce development, entrepreneurship, health, and housing, the organization directly impacts the lives of thousands of Indianapolis residents annually.

The Challenge

DaMar has supported the Indianapolis Urban League in recruiting and hiring professionals for roles including Front Desk, Accounting Specialist, Data Analyst, and more. As a mission-driven nonprofit, the Urban League faces unique staffing challenges:

  • High-stakes hiring decisions: Every team member must align with the organization's values and understand the communities they serve

  • Specialized skill requirements: Programs demand professionals with specific expertise across diverse sectors

  • Resource constraints: Limited HR capacity requires an efficient, reliable staffing partner

  • Cultural fit imperative: Staff must genuinely connect with the Urban League's mission and the populations they serve

The DaMar Solution

For over 10 years, DaMar Staffing has served as the Indianapolis Urban League's trusted talent partner. Our approach goes beyond simply filling positions:

Deep Partnership Understanding

We've invested time learning the Urban League's culture, values, and operational needs. This institutional knowledge allows us to identify candidates who will thrive in this mission-driven environment.
