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.
