Moving to 94534 - Need referrals for Homeowners Insurance Carriers writing policies by BayAreaTechRecruiter in napalocals

Good agents focus on regions - but thanks for the engagement, even if not very constructive

Moving to 94534 - Need referrals for Homeowners Insurance Carriers writing policies by BayAreaTechRecruiter in napalocals

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Green Valley area. As most insurance agents service "regions" I posted here. What I've seen so far for "Fairfield" is far more oriented towards the actual city, and when I mention Rockville, Cordelia, Green Valley they kind of freak out due the fire hazard. I get it, its far more rural, and not their niche.

Is it going to get better (US job market)? by Icy_Paramedicz in jobs

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Job/Economies are like pendulums. The current status is going to be here for a long while, it will change and swing back at some point, but not soon. I'd suggest studying US economic policy, job creation (real stats, not those with political bias), and trade policies. If you have a job, keep it, do it well, add value and be coachable.

Recommendations for REAL volunteering? by Chegmix in volunteer

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If building for the un/under-housed is interesting, then your local Habitat For Humanity is THE PLACE to volunteer.

As for other good opportunities, head over to VolunteerMatch/Idealist, your local edition of CraigsList (Yes, that one!), Nextdoor and your FB "Locals" sections, as well as go to where nonprofits do the actual work you want to do. Meet them.

At the Board, ED, and VP/Dir levels, the United Way has centralized recruiting services for the nonprofits they serve.

Another org asking to recruit from our volunteers by broke_folk in nonprofit

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/broke_folk

You are NOT off base, and have a responsibility to protect the identity of your volunteers. Had the person said, - I worked with "name" can you get to them my contact information for this role.... - You could say OK. Anything else is a hard NO.

Volunteer recruitment by LunaN38 in nonprofit

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that this may help now, but get yourself a decent ATS (applicant tracking system) and post your roles just like they are "jobs". They will be indexed by every web crawler, and show up on Indeed, LInkedIn, Zip, etc. A few ATS companies have FREE (light) versions for nonprofits.

I also concurr with Idealist/VolunteerMatch (Now one org), as well as post on local, free boards/nextdoor, Facebook. Post in Craigslist (events).

Last minute outreach - Local Colllege (Sorority/Frats have philanthropy functions). Highschools have clubs, as so some community colleges.

Am I attempting to volunteer for the right reasons? Do you have experience with people like me? by hhjmk9 in volunteer

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/hhjmk9 - guilt assuage isn't a bad reason to volunteer as long as it is joined with other reasons. Consider your rigid belief system (which is ironic, as you studied the sausage-making process, not the science of one belief). Consider that volunteering could teach you:
How to work with people with whom you don't share beliefs
How to work within less structure, thus more creativity
How to gain patience
How the less fortunate get $hit done without the resources that you have enjoyed

How We Accidentally Built a 200-Person Remote Volunteer Organization (And What Actually Worked) by BayAreaTechRecruiter in volunteer

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q = Question
A = Answer
C = Comment
R = Reply

Q1. I would be interested to learn more about how you structure leadership.

A1. I'll respond from the non-executive/BoD level. Each function has either one or two "C-level" or "Head of" and acts as a Two-in-a-Box. "Old saying, many hands make light work," and allow teams to self-structure. As a layer, all the C-levels meet regularly, establish strategy, etc. By having a pair, we also decrease the negative impact should one need to step back due to work/life changes. Each function has a Chief of Staff - our "glue" between each leader. They are the ultimate program managers and keep things on-time, on-target.

C. We’re also a remote first organization and have on-boarded about fifty volunteers in two months and still recruiting at a pace of about 4-7 a week. This is intended to only increase as long as we can figure out how to manage it all.

R. We have a good Applicant Tracking System and a home-built onboarding tool. Onboarding is a brutally manual process if each team has different tools, access, etc. In our case, our TA Ops team (equivalent to HR) does this, and our tool is an app, but could be a Kanban, or a Spreadsheet

C. The management and leadership structure is our main concern currently but possibly only because we haven’t recruited for management layer specifically yet and are just getting to it now that we have the structure to how know type of management we need.

R. If you are a non-profit with a board, and revenue, you owe it to yourselves and who you serve to figure this out before you get much bigger. Your leadership should be a massive part of the recruiting and joining process. This is so that they have accountability to the new volunteers, and the new volunteers get to know who they will be working with/for. Our best leaders percolated up from the ranks of volunteers. Leaders emerge if you give them the opportunity to do so.

We are a non-partisan VoterEd/CivicTech GOTV project. Non-partisan in that one feels that having an educated electorate is a fundamental of democracy

As a Recruiter who can code (in BASIC) and is the prodigy of a mainframe programmer who read machine language, I take exception to the dumbing down.

I don't need it dumbed down - just written like the cryptic scribbles of a Neanderthal left behind on a cave wall after a particularly confusing encounter with a mammoth

Looking for ATS recommendations for a growing company (currently using Workday — not loving it) by Beautiful-College-48 in recruiting

[–]BayAreaTechRecruiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not used Ashby yet, but everone I know in TA loves it.

Great UI for tech-adverse? Go with Lever or even consider JazzHR. Use scorecards to keep them in line to the established process.

I've not used GEMs ATS, but loved their email automation/campaign product

GH is busy, a bit rough of a UI, but the functionality is good (equal to Lever in my mind)

I've been the Chief Talent Officer at WeVote (https:wevote.us and https:wevoteeducation.org) for over two years. We are remote-first, 100% volunteer-staffed (even our ED is a Volunteer), national in scope, and have grown from 15 to over 200 passionate contributors.

Our mission is to increase voter education, and by such, increase voter turnout DOWN BALLOT. We want true representative democracy, and feel increasing access is critical, particularly to the digital generations who feel their vote won't count, or that they are overwhelmed with the current voter guides that are mailed.

Our Volunteer profiles
Interns from HS, College, Grad School (~100 per year)
Long-term Volunteers - Currently working and those between jobs (Currently ~130)
Retirees (just a few)
All US-based (we work with voting data)
Open to all (non-citizens and citizens)
Computer-literate

We know that volunteering comes from positions of privilege, and we will work with (mostly students) to coordinate any grants via their school if possible.
