Recruit and Select Volunteers


The simple fundamental truths about recruitment are:

  • The most effective method of recruitment is word of mouth from current volunteers
  • No one volunteers unless they are asked
  • It is far more effective to retain satisfied volunteers than to recruit new ones, and
  • One volunteer, who leaves after a poor experience, will do more damage than the good done by ten excellent recruitment campaigns.

There are six stages to the recruitment and selection process.

3.1 Develop Volunteer Roles
3.2 Write Volunteer Job Descriptions
3.3 Develop Your Message and Advertise
3.4 Interviewing
3.5 Screening
3.6 Selection
