Arku for Charities
Hiring staff and volunteers for charities
Recruit paid staff and volunteers in one place, keep your board's decisions on record, and get 30% off as a registered charity.
Sound familiar?
Charities hire with small teams and tight budgets, and every applicant may also be a supporter. The process needs to be fair, quick and kind.
Volunteers and staff need different handling
Volunteer roles need a lighter touch, but you still want a clear, fair process for everyone.
Decisions involve several people
Managers, trustees and coordinators all have a say, often without logging in to another system.
Checks matter
Many roles need police vetting or a background check, and you need to record where each person is up to.
How Arku helps
Paid and volunteer roles
Mark each job as paid or volunteer, and run both through the same pipeline.
Background check status
Ask about police vetting, Working With Children Checks or DBS checks, worded for your country. Arku records the status and date only, never the check itself.
Score without an account
Send a trustee or coordinator a scoring link for one applicant. It works for 14 days with no login.
Fair, consistent decisions
Score every applicant against the same criteria, with reasons your team can see later.
Everyone hears back
Send respectful updates and rejections from templates, so supporters who apply keep a good impression.
Privacy by default
Consent at apply, automatic anonymising, export and erasure when people ask.
30% off Starter and Pro for registered charities and not-for-profits. See pricing.
