online recruitment
DESCRIPTION
How to effectively recruit volunteers is an important question. Online volunteer registration sites are one recruitment tool. There are several benefits in terms of promotion as online volunteer registration sites are being promoted through a variety of national organizations. A second major benefit afforded by some volunteer registration software is the ability to store and manage volunteer data. This presentation will provide a quick overview of several sites and the services they provide. We’ll also demonstrate how to register your agency and start posting opportunities to those that are free.TRANSCRIPT
