Charities to benefit from LinkedIn’s new Volunteer Marketplace

Charities will be pleased to hear that LinkedIn has launched a Volunteer Marketplace which lets people advertise and search for unpaid positions.

Organisations can post opportunities as they would a normal job, but at a significantly lower price. In order to ensure high quality placements, LinkedIn is working alongside volunteer-matching organisations.

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman said: “While busy professionals who love their current gigs may not necessarily be looking for a new position, these are often the very people who are most actively engaged in ‘meaningful searches’ — a volunteer opportunity that will enhance their life in ways beyond what their primary vocation provides.
