Recruiting volunteers and staff

Recruitment is where you post open positions — volunteer, part-time, full-time, contractor, or internship — and manage the applications that come in. Published posts appear on your public-facing site so anyone can apply without needing an account first.

Posting an opportunity

Open Recruitment in the workspace sidebar and select New post. Fill in a title, description, and type (Volunteer, Part-Time, Full-Time, Contractor, or Internship). Optional fields let you add a department, a location or mark it remote, a compensation description, a time commitment, required skills, other requirements, a number of spots available, and an application deadline.

You can also add application questions — short text, long text, multiple choice, or checkbox — that applicants answer when they apply. When you're done, choose Save Draft to keep working on it, or Publish to make it visible on your public site right away.

A Featured checkbox is also available when creating or editing a post.

Managing a post

From the Recruitment list, each post shows its type, status, application count, and how many of its spots are filled. Open a post to see its full detail, or use the row menu for a quick status change:

A draft can be published; an open post can be paused or closed; a paused post can be resumed or closed. Use Edit on a post's detail page to change any of its details after publishing.

Reviewing applications

Open a post and scroll to Applications, or jump straight to an application count from the Recruitment list. Filter by status — All, Submitted, Reviewing, Accepted, or Rejected — and select an applicant's row to expand their cover message, their answers to your application questions, and a reviewer-notes field for internal comments the applicant never sees.

From an open application you can:

• Mark Reviewing to flag that you're actively looking at it.
• Reject to close it out.
• Accept, which opens an Accept & Add to Team dialog.

Accepting an applicant onto your team

The Accept & Add to Team dialog adds the applicant directly to your workspace as a team member. Choose their team role (Staff, Coordinator, Manager, or Admin), and optionally set a department, a job title, and a welcome message. Confirming the dialog accepts the application and adds them to your team roster in one step — see Roles and permissions for your team for what each role can do once they're in.

Why this matters

Recruiting volunteers and staff usually means juggling a job board, an inbox full of applications, and a separate step to actually onboard whoever you pick. Posting from Recruitment keeps applications, your review notes, and the final "add them to the team" step in one place — so accepting a great applicant takes one dialog, not an afternoon of copying details between tools.
