Capture skills, causes, availability and deal-breakers once per volunteer, then reuse the profile to slot people into the right role fast.
Quick answer
Use it once per volunteer, not once per event: skills, causes, availability and roles to avoid are captured as a reusable profile you search whenever you plan coverage or launch a new program.
A good volunteer placement starts before any shift is posted. This intake asks each person once — what they can do, what they care about, when they're free, and which roles they'd rather avoid — and keeps it as a reusable profile you can search when planning any program, instead of re-asking at every event.
