The record

Purpose: VolunteerReady helps organizations recruit, screen, schedule, and manage volunteers, while volunteers discover opportunities and carry their records between organizations.
Screening: Organizations can create screening questionnaires with auto-pass/fail rules and review applicants with screening results surfaced in the application queue.
Background checks: Background checks are powered by Checkr and Sterling and include an FCRA adverse-action workflow.
Portable credentials: Verified credentials such as background checks, training, orientation, ID verification, and reference checks can travel with volunteers across organizations on the platform.
Scheduling: Organizations can create shifts, set capacity, accept volunteer sign-ups, and track attendance.
Reporting: The platform tracks volunteer hours, headcount, and credential status for export-ready reporting, while corporate ESG summaries can be exported as CSV or PDF.
Integrations: Named third-party services include Checkr, Sterling, Google OAuth, Stripe, Resend, Sentry, Vercel Analytics, and Upstash Redis.
Security: The maker says data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and organization data is isolated through organization-scoped database queries.
Privacy: The privacy policy says background-check identity data is sent directly to Checkr or Sterling and is not stored on VolunteerReady servers.
Data export limit: Volunteer roster CSV export is included in every plan but is rolling out organization by organization and may need to be enabled.
Support and onboarding: The founder personally onboards organizations and the nonprofit page says most organizations are set up in under 15 minutes.
Intended users: The platform describes workflows for volunteers, nonprofits, and corporate social-responsibility programs.
