Advancing Volunteer Engagement Through Technology

What are the top volunteer management software features for volunteer recruitment?

A strong volunteer management software should support the full process of a volunteer’s journey with your program, from registration to engagement.

Here are the tools the most popular volunteer management systems include that focus on recruiting: 

Recruitment Tools

Take volunteers through the “new volunteer” sign up process with these features to make your recruitment efforts much easier: 

• Volunteer Sign-Up – Simplifying volunteer sign-up! When looking for a system, one of the first features many volunteer managers search for is easy browsing sign up for volunteer opportunities. 
• Volunteer Database – Collect your volunteers contact information, schedule availability, and store their preferences. Some systems also collect your volunteer’s qualifying documents . 
• Team and Group Registration – Scheduling and coordinating volunteer teams and groups can take up much of a volunteer manager’s time. Volunteer management software can streamline team and group registration along with scheduling. 
• Waivers and Background Check Integration – Ensure the safety of your program with liability waivers that allow e-sign. Many volunteer management systems integrate with background check companies. This way, you’ll be able to keep these documents safe in your database and have them associated with the proper volunteer and program.
