We’re a team of committed volunteers from a diverse set of backgrounds who are committed to leveling the playing field in tech (and beyond).

In this role, your efforts in driving inclusivity and diversity within the tech sector will create tangible changes and break down barriers, making a real difference in many lives. This volunteer position offers more than just an opportunity to work with a tech startup; it's a chance to grow professionally, expand your network, and be part of a cause that's reshaping the industry landscape. As the HR Manager at Wevise, an innovative startup providing online mentoring services in the tech industry, you'll be embarking on a journey that's both challenging and rewarding. While this position is unpaid, it stands as a unique opportunity to leave a lasting impact in the tech world, especially for underrepresented groups.

We are seeking an experienced Recruiter who will play a crucial role in sourcing, engaging, and onboarding volunteers who are aligned with Wevise’s mission and values. This position requires a passionate, organized, and dynamic individual who can work independently and as part of a team. The Volunteer Recruiter will develop and execute strategies to attract a diverse pool of volunteers, ensuring that our volunteer needs are met while fostering an inclusive and supportive volunteer culture.

• Develop and implement creative strategies to attract volunteers across multiple channels (social media, job boards, community groups, partnerships, etc.).

• Actively source and recruit volunteers by reaching out to potential candidates, screening resumes/applications, and conducting interviews.

• Build and maintain relationships with volunteer networks, educational institutions, local organizations, and other relevant stakeholders.
