Volunteer Recruitment System – the improved new way
Why?To allow management to be aware of recruiting activity and training success
To provide DCs with additional information about prospective volunteer experiences and qualifications
To allow leaders to refer potential volunteers to better matched supervisors
To provide correct data entry by prospective volunteers
To reduce the clerical workload of DCs & ADSs
Marketing – to evaluate the sources of potential volunteers
Training – to be aware of when in the training process potential volunteers are determined no longer to be viable for an assignment
Ethical/Moral qualification – to determine the extent to which potential volunteers fail to become volunteers owing to an unacceptable criminal background or failure to agree to Standards of Conduct.
