LinkedIn's New Volunteer Tool
LinkedIn recently launched a tool that connects volunteers with nonprofits looking for specific skills. LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman wrote in a blog post that pre-social media, an architect interested in doing volunteer work would have had trouble finding that local nonprofit that needed help expanding its facilities. Several volunteer opportunities are already listed, including Hire Our Heroes looking for a WordPress Web developer and Taproot’s ad for a volunteer brand strategist. LinkedIn is charging nonprofits around $40 for every job listing.
