I recently ran across an organization called Hiring for Hope that dedicates itself to assisting people in their career search. Their funding comes from Donations and Fees charged to companies when they place someone. In an odd twist they also help couples who have recently lost a child. I think this is because two non-profit groups merged to form one.
Anyway, they offer an interesting outlet for the job search and may provide sensitivity that other recruiting firms lack.
