With a mission to connect opportunities in tech to underserved communities, we are dedicated to empowering individuals of all backgrounds to thrive in their careers. Our company size is 1-10 employees. However, we have had some challenges recruiting top-quality talent for our current client contract due to manpower and I'm looking for ways to optimize my processes: automate any redundant tasks and have an SOP in place for hiring.This project will involve several different steps for the students, including:Documenting the current state of our staff and volunteer recruitment process, from when the resource need is identified to when the position is filled.Creating visualizations such as data flow diagrams to identify strengths and pain points in our recruitment process.Assessing our current process and making recommendations for improvements and efficiencies such as better use of automation with Zapier, our CRM and outreachDocumenting and mapping a target state process.Suggesting feedback mechanisms to gather input from staff, volunteers, and applicants.
