Recruit volunteers - Data

Quality data is essential for understanding, planning, and improving volunteer recruitment efforts. This section highlights how National Societies can use data to identify recruitment needs, track outreach effectiveness, and ensure diversity and inclusion in their volunteer base. Collecting and analyzing data on volunteer demographics, recruitment channels, application trends, and onboarding success rates enables evidence-based decision-making. When used responsibly, data not only helps refine recruitment strategies—it also supports transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in how volunteers are welcomed into the organization.
