Writing volunteer vacancies: we do the prep work, you decide

How long did you stare at a blank vacancy field last time?

Writing a volunteer vacancy takes time. On Give a Day, our updated AI suggestions now do the prep work. We fill in your organisation profile based on your website and immediately suggest vacancies. Already know who you are looking for? Then we'll write out that specific vacancy for you. You review, adjust and publish.

How do you get vacancy ideas for your organisation?

Click on "Get vacancy ideas". After that, it takes two steps.

Step 1: your profile is filled in automatically. You enter your website address. We look up your organisation, read your web pages and fill in your profile for you:

• your mission

• what you do

• your target group

• the volunteer roles that suit you

• the themes you work around

• your social media

You will also see on which website the information was found. Is something incorrect? Adjust it. Missing a role? Add it. Does one not belong? Click it away.

Step 2: have vacancies suggested automatically. Click on "Generate vacancies". Our system analyzes your profile and drafts a suitable vacancy for each role. This usually takes less than half a minute.

Each vacancy gets a title, a description of what the volunteer does and what he or she gets in return. In addition to ongoing vacancies, there can also be a one-day vacancy included. Think of titles like "Help in the kitchen and prepare hot meals" or "Welcome visitors and offer a listening ear".

Why should you review your profile first?

Because a vacancy is only as good as what we know about you. A profile with your own mission and your own words produces vacancies that sound like you, not like a template.

That is also the best tip: take step 1 seriously. Spending two minutes reviewing there saves you rewriting work later.

Do you already know which volunteer you are looking for?

Then you don't need the two steps. Click on "Describe your vacancy" and tell us in a few sentences who you are looking for. We write out the vacancy for you. Afterwards, you review it and adjust where necessary.

Does anything go online without you seeing it?

Every suggested vacancy is initially set to "To review". You approve them, save them as a draft or delete them. Nothing goes online without your approval.

Not satisfied with the suggestions? Ask for more suggestions. Want a vacancy in another language as well? Translate it with one click, and then review it briefly.

Why does that vacancy so often get left behind?

Many organisations run on a few people who handle volunteers on top of everything else. Writing a good vacancy then shifts to the bottom of the list. Even though that very vacancy determines whether someone takes the step.

You remain in control. We give you a starting point so you get online faster.
