How do applications work?

Communication is a key to the success of the Reach community. Organisations and volunteers need to keep each other -- and Reach -- up-to-date as an application progresses.

Adding colleagues to your organisation

Some organisations find it useful to have more than one contact recruiting through the same organisation profile on Reach.

Keeping your information private

How to keep your personal information private.

Updating an application with the outcome
