Recruitment

 

The Recruitment Process - An Overview

The recruitment process for volunteers is very similar to the recruitment of employees, albeit more informal. However, this does not mean that good practice should not be followed, as the poor appointment of a volunteer can be as damaging as the poor appointment of an employee.


Getting ready to recruit

  • The creation of a Volunteering Role - why you need a volunteer and what their tasks will be
  • Developing a task description for that role
  • Developing a person specification for that role
