    Description

    Ready to apply your talent acquisition and engagement skills to a cause that truly matters? Join YouthShare Initiatives, a dynamic French non-profit, and help us amplify the voices of young leaders driving sustainable social, economic, and environmental change.

    Your expertise is crucial because our volunteer programs are the heart of our impact. It's through them that we mobilize hundreds of people, implement our projects, and connect with communities worldwide. Without clear, effective, and well-supported program structures, our actions cannot reach their full potential, thereby limiting our reach and impact. Our dedicated volunteers have accomplished incredible work with limited resources so far. Now, as our Talent Acquisition & Engagement Specialist (a volunteer role), you will be at the forefront of this growth. You'll use your specialized skills to design and implement strategies that attract, onboard, and retain the diverse pool of passionate individuals needed to expand our reach. Your work will ensure every volunteer contribution is as impactful and far-reaching as our real-world actions, directly helping us build a thriving global community for YouthShare Initiatives!

    As our Talent Acquisition & Engagement Specialist, you will:

    • Global Volunteer Sourcing & Outreach: Proactively identify and reach out to potential volunteers through various channels, including international online platforms, university career centers, professional networks, and global community events, with an eye for cultural diversity.
    • Application Management: Manage the volunteer application process from initial inquiry to placement, ensuring a smooth, welcoming, and efficient experience for all candidates, regardless of their geographical location.
    • Intercultural Interview & Assessment: Conduct initial screenings and interviews to assess candidates' skills, motivations, and alignment with YouthShare Initiatives' values and program needs, with sensitivity to diverse cultural contexts.
    • Inclusive Onboarding & Orientation: Assist in the development and delivery of engaging onboarding sessions, ensuring new volunteers from various backgrounds are well-informed, prepared, and integrated into our multicultural community.
    • Engagement Strategies: Collaborate with the Volunteer Program Architect and other team members to develop and implement strategies that foster continuous volunteer engagement, recognition, and retention, considering global participation.
    • Database Management: Maintain and update our volunteer database with accurate information, tracking recruitment progress and volunteer contributions from around the world.
    • Brand Ambassador: Act as an enthusiastic ambassador for YouthShare Initiatives, effectively communicating our mission and the value of volunteering to prospective candidates from all cultures.
    • Feedback & Improvement: Collect feedback from new and existing volunteers to identify areas for improvement in our recruitment and engagement processes, taking cultural nuances into account.
