Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Position Summary:
The Recruiting Specialist will help bring potential volunteers into our organization by following up with interested candidates, interviewing for specific positions, and making the transition from interested party to hired volunteer as seamless and smooth as possible.
Essential Duties and Responsibilites
*E-mail potential candidates to obtain resume / further references
Interview by phone to ascertain whether or not the candidate is a good fit

Community Empowerment Network's (CEN’s) operations are nearly entirely driven by the efforts of volunteers (the only exception is our Field Manager in Santarém, Brazil, who is paid under contract). We are staffed along the lines of the Open Source development community. We have several (currently eight) Working Groups, each with its own lead who manages a number of Project Leads. These Project Leads are responsible for building and managing teams of volunteers to execute specific projects. We’re a small organization and so lines of responsibility become a little blurred at times, but this provides a terrific opportunity to take on a variety of responsibilities and to expand your skills.
