Connect · Volunteering & jobs

Alumni hiring alumni.

Members post jobs, internships and referral offers, and the committee approves each one before it shows. Members who can help tick one box, and the committee gives them a role.

How it works

Opportunities from people who were in your shoes.

A jobs board members trust because a person checks it, and volunteer roles that start with a tick box.

Posting

Any member can post a job

Title, organisation, location, a type (full-time, part-time, internship or referral), a description of up to 5,000 characters and an optional apply link. Members see their own posts with a status: waiting, published, rejected or closed.

  • Four types, including "I can refer you"
  • Apply links must be https
  • Up to 10 posts an hour per member

Approval

Nothing appears until someone approves it

Every post waits for a person with the jobs board in their admin areas. They approve, reject or close it. So the board never fills with recruiters, spam or a post from somebody who left in a huff.

  • Approve, reject or close
  • Rejected posts never reach the board
  • Posts end 60 days after approval, or the length you set

Applying

Apply by link, or ask for an introduction

If the poster added an apply link, members use it. If not, a "Request contact" button sends the poster a contact request about that job. Accept it and each of you sees the contact details the other chose to share.

  • The request is tied to a real, published post
  • No CV uploads to look after
  • The poster decides who gets their details

Job alerts

New jobs that find the member

A member saves a search on the jobs page: a type, a place, a few words, or any mix of the three. When a post that fits is approved, they hear about it at once, once a day or once a week, whichever they chose. One email covers every alert that matched, and a member is never told about their own post.

  • Up to 5 saved alerts per member, unless you change it
  • At most 5 at-once emails a day, unless you change it; anything more waits for the daily digest
  • A link in every alert email stops that alert, with no sign-in
  • Alerts follow the jobs board: switch the board off and they stop

Volunteering

Volunteers: interest first, roles second

Members tick "I can volunteer" on their profile. The committee creates roles such as "reunion desk" or "archive captions", assigns people to them, and each person is emailed. Their member home then shows what they volunteer as. Roles the committee opens also appear on a Volunteer page, where members sign up for themselves.

  • Roles with a description and a scope
  • The coordinator confirms volunteers and marks who attended
  • A Volunteer badge after attending, or while holding a confirmed ongoing role
  • "Volunteers only" is an email and WhatsApp audience

Shifts

Shifts with places, hours and a roster

A role is either ongoing or a shift, with a start, an end and a number of places. Members sign up on the Volunteer page, or apply where the coordinator approves each volunteer, until the places are gone or the shift starts. A reminder goes 24 hours before a shift, unless you set another gap. Afterwards the coordinator marks who attended, with their hours, and downloads the roster as a CSV.

  • A shift can belong to an event, in person or online
  • Door duty: a volunteer the coordinator has confirmed checks tickets in from the member area, from an hour before the event to an hour after, unless you change the window
  • A door volunteer finds a ticket by its code or a name and checks it in: no whole guest list, no payments, no exports
  • Hours are in the member's own data export
  • 4job types, referrals included
  • 60days before a post expires
  • 5,000characters per job description
  • 1tick box to offer help

Not yet

What the jobs board and volunteer roles do not do yet.

A tag means a fix is planned. No tag means it is not.

  • A different length for each post: the committee sets one length for the whole board, 60 days unless changed
  • Employer accounts, CV uploads or applications inside AlumDeck
  • Paid or featured job adverts

FAQ

Questions committees ask

Can employers who are not members post jobs?

No. Only active members can post, and only signed-in members can read the board. An alumna hiring for her team posts it herself, which is the point.

Why did a job post disappear?

It reached the end of its listing. Posts stay on the board for a set number of days, counted from the day they are approved: 60 unless your committee changes it in Settings, to anything from 7 to 365.

A week before a post ends, the member who posted it gets an email with a link that renews it. They can also edit, close or renew their own posts from the jobs page.

Can members sign up for volunteer roles themselves?

Yes, for any role the committee opens. A role is ongoing or a shift with a start, an end and a number of places. Members sign up on the Volunteer page of the member area, or apply where the coordinator approves each volunteer, and can cancel until the shift starts. The committee can still assign people itself.

A member shows a Volunteer badge on their profile once they are marked as attended, or while they hold a confirmed ongoing role. Ticking "I can volunteer" or booking a shift is not enough on its own, and the directory's "Volunteers only" filter follows the same rule.

How do we find the members who offered to help?

Choose "volunteers only" as the audience of an email campaign, or build a WhatsApp list from the same filter. Everyone who ticked the box is in it.

Is the jobs board public?

No. It is inside the member area, so only signed-in members see the posts, and search engines never do. An association that does not want a jobs board switches it off in Settings, under Modules: the board leaves the member area and the admin, and the posts are kept.
