Recruitment - Placement

Sample Wording

Only when the initial screening process has been satisfactorily concluded will the volunteer be notified of official acceptance.

Volunteers are selected for a mutually beneficial match between the needs of the organization and the needs of the volunteers. It is illegal to discriminate against a volunteer without bona fide reasons. Any selection or rejection decisions must be fair and objective and must be made in accordance with human rights guidelines.

Why?

Emphasize from the start that acceptance is not automatic, volunteers are screened and not everybody is placed.

Key issues/procedures

When is a volunteer accepted and placed?

Who notifies the volunteer of acceptance or non acceptance?

What records do you keep if a volunteer is not accepted?
