When your organization requests skills-based volunteer support via Taproot Plus, you can now select whether or not you'd like Taproot to recruit volunteers from LinkedIn on your behalf.
Your Taproot Plus listing will be promoted free of cost to relevant LinkedIn users through their job marketplace as a volunteer (unpaid) opportunity. This promotion will only occur if you provide us with your organization's LinkedIn Company ID during the Project or Session request process. All applications from prospective volunteers will still flow through Taproot Plus, and you'll be responsible for responding to them using your Taproot Plus Dashboard. There are no additional LinkedIn actions or management needed from your organization if you choose to leverage Taproot's partnership with LinkedIn.
A LinkedIn Company ID is a string of 6-9 digits specific to your organization’s LinkedIn page. LinkedIn Admins can find the ID number within your organization’s LinkedIn page URL. Visit LinkedIn's Nonprofit Resource Center for more information on creating a LinkedIn page for your organization.
Regardless of your decision to use (or not use) Taproot's connection with LinkedIn, our team will promote your volunteer opportunity to relevant professionals in our community via email, website, and social media, and work to find you someone who is a great fit.
