Six Steps to Effective RecruitingPROGRAM DESIGN
Organization must answer key questions NLOC may have addressed the questions
but do we understand the answers? Branches, Divisions and Nationals do not
have identical goals
![Page 8: RECRUITING VOLUNTEERS Navy League of Canada BC Mainland Division 2005 AGM Prince George, BC.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022080905/56649d8e5503460f94a768b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Six Steps to Effective RecruitingPROGRAM DESIGN QUESTIONS
1) What are the goals & objectives of the program?
2) How will volunteers work with your staff (or corps officers)?
3) Who will be responsible for management of volunteers?
4) To whom will this person report?

Six Steps to Effective RecruitingDESIGN VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
Know what your volunteers need to do. Do not design jobs to fit volunteers – what skills and
roles are needed? Some jobs are mandatory – President, Treasurer,
Cadet Chairs - others can be tailored to organization Design positions for different levels of responsibility,
commitment & experience Be flexible – may have to recruit for more
responsible positions in stages
