BUILD A STRONG VOLUNTEER BASE

Onboard more quality volunteers with less hassle

Volunteers and agents are essential to the success of any campaign. And onboarding them shouldn’t be hard. A complex onboarding process will just put off volunteers and destroy morale and turnout.

With CallHub, that’s not something you need to worry about. You can onboard volunteers with a simple, customizable sign up form in minutes. Add them one by one to the platform or in bulk using our API or Zapier.

You have complete control over the volunteer experience. Not just with onboarding, but even when they are part of your campaign.

Every time anything had to be improved, we had a great correspondence with the CallHub team and they were very reactive; so every time we felt there was need to improve the tool to change something, they developed it quite quickly. It was very interesting, very stimulating, because we could go further every time we had what appeared to be an issue about CallHub.”

– Anthony Samama, Digital and Innovation Manager, Nicolas Sarkozy Presidential Primary
