Service Executive (RFSE) Needed Gifts, Traits, and
SkillsFaith/Prayer Life: You will need a strong faith in God, an
understanding of your personal mission and purpose; a habit of
prayer and petition to God for wisdom and direction; and a desire
to follow His guidance daily.Positive/Encourager: Because the
volunteers you will work with are dealing with various life
circumstances, you must have a full tank of encouragement at all
times. A positive attitude to celebrate their individual
accomplishments and successes, as well as empathy for life's
difficulties, will result in trust and respect from those you
support in the field.Market Intelligence: Understand your market.
Know there is competition for volunteers' time (sports programs,
BSA, community Boards, and other ministries). Expand volunteers'
understanding of their potential "circles of influence", and where
to network and locate new volunteer candidates.Talent Assessment:
Work with your Regional Team Leader to understand the positions for
which you are recruiting, skills required for each volunteer role,
and expectations they will have for the volunteer
candidates.Networker: Relationship building-with both existing Area
leaders and candidates for volunteer positions-is extremely
important. It is beneficial to participate in religious groups,
civic clubs, and professional associations. Must be well- versed
and comfortable with in-person and phone networking, as well as
digital and virtual networking (including online meetings, video
chats, social media and other messaging platforms and
technologies).The Art of Selling: The RFSE needs to "sell" the
volunteer candidates on the position they are being asked to fill.
Be able to show the candidate "what's in it for him" (the
importance of fulfilling his God-given mission and
purpose).Sourcing: Finding talent will require utilization of a
variety of channels. This might include posting on social media or
speaking to church associations, civic clubs, or retiree groups.
Sourcing will lead to more personalized messages, phone calls, and
recruiting appointments. Which leads to...Follow-up: Keeping
detailed records of your contacts will keep you organized and on
top of the task at hand. Timely and regular "re-connects" can only
happen if you schedule them.Marketing: Be comfortable on multiple
social media channels including Twitter, Facebook, etc. Connecting
regularly with volunteers, using the method they prefer, is the
best way to build trust and expand your network.Communication:
Professionalism is essential in both offline and online activities,
including social media, email, phone, and in-person
communication.Flexibility/Resilience: Be flexible to meet according
to the volunteer candidate's availability. Give plenty of options
for the candidate. Don't accept "no" for an answer when talking to
the best candidate prospect! But resilience develops through
negative experiences mixed with the commitment to continuously
learn-every rejection is a growth opportunity.
