Gotongo.org launches platform to facilitate the recruitment of professionals for NGOs worldwide / una plataforma que facilita el reclutamiento de profesionales para ONG de todo el mundo

Posted on October 26, 2021November 2, 2021 by info

The web tool created by the Basque start-up brings together, after a year of activity, more than 200 NGOs from 45 countries and has registered more than 10,000 applications from all over the world. The goal for the next five years is to serve some 10,000 organizations.

La herramienta web creada por la ‘startup’ vasca reúne, tras un año de actividad, a más de 200 ONG de 45 países y tiene registradas a más de 10.000 candidaturas de todo el mundo. El objetivo para los próximos cinco años es dar servicio a unas 10.000 organizaciones. 

The Basque start-up Gotongo.org, the first independent digital job and volunteer exchange specialized in non-governmental organizations operating internationally, has launched a centralized and efficient solution to facilitate the recruitment of professionals according to the needs of small and medium-sized NGOs.

The new platform offers a subscription service that allows NGOs to publish their job offers and streamline their recruitment processes. In this way, through the platform, NGOs can centralize and unify the recruitment process in one place.

After one year of activity, more than 200 NGOs from 45 countries have already registered on the platform. In addition, 74 projects have been published in 17 countries (37 of them in Spain and of those, 8 in the Basque Country, the rest are from Latin America and Africa). More than 10,000 applications from all over the world have also been registered.

The platform’s goal for the next five years is to serve some 10,000 NGOs, which represents 1% of the more than one million such organizations in Latin America.

Currently, access to the platform is free until January 2022. Gotongo.org offers a subscription service for which NGOs will pay according to the volume of job offers published. The publication of volunteer projects is free of charge. The service is also free for people who are looking for volunteer projects or want to apply for job offers.

Gotongo.org is the result of the personal experience lived by Guillermo Boned and Tánit Esnal in 2017 during a trip through Southeast Asia. “During our trip, we wanted to do some kind of volunteering in the countries we visited, but we found it frustrating how difficult it was to find information online. That’s where the business idea came from,” recalls Guillermo Boned, the founder of the company from Guipuzcoa.

After more than a year studying the market, talking to NGOs and volunteers to give shape to the idea, the Basque firm launched its project in April 2020, in the middle of the lockdown. “The pandemic and the mandatory social distance have meant an increase in offers of volunteering and virtual employment; at the moment, 16% of our offer is online volunteering and we expect it to grow steadily over the next few years,” Boned points out. Remote accompaniment of elderly people in solitary situations, or the virtual compilation of books and multimedia files are examples of this new type of volunteering.

La ‘startup’ vasca Gotongo.org, la primera bolsa digital independiente de trabajo y voluntariado especializada en organizaciones no gubernamentales que opera en el ámbito internacional, ha lanzado una solución centralizada y eficiente para facilitar el reclutamiento de profesionales según las necesidades de pequeñas y medianas ONG.

La nueva plataforma ofrece un servicio de suscripción que permite a las ONG publicar sus ofertas de trabajo y agilizar sus procesos de contratación. De este modo, a través de la herramienta, las ONG pueden centralizar y unificar el proceso de selección de personas en un mismo sitio.

Tras un año de actividad, más de 200 ONG de 45 países se han registrado ya en la plataforma. Además, han publicado 74 proyectos en 17 países (37 de ellos en España y de esos, 8 en Euskadi, el resto son de Latinoamérica y África). También se han registrado más de 10.000 candidaturas de todo el mundo. 

El objetivo para los próximos cinco años de la plataforma es dar servicio a unas 10.000 ONG, que representa el 1% de las más de un millón de organizaciones de este tipo que existen en toda Latinoamérica. 

Actualmente, el acceso a la plataforma es gratuito hasta enero de 2022. Gotongo.org ofrece un servicio de suscripción por el cual las ONG pagarán en función del volumen de ofertas de empleo publicadas. La publicación de proyectos de voluntariado es gratuita. El servicio también es gratuito para las personas que buscan proyectos de voluntariado o quieren presentar su candidatura a las ofertas de empleo.

Gotongo.org es fruto de la experiencia personal vivida por Guillermo Boned y Tánit Esnal en 2017 durante un viaje por el sureste asiático. “Durante nuestro viaje, quisimos realizar algún tipo de voluntariado por los países que visitábamos, pero nos resultó́ frustrante lo difícil que era encontrar información por internet. De ahí́ surgió́ la idea de negocio”, recuerda Guillermo Boned, el fundador de la firma guipuzcoana.

Tras más de un año estudiando el mercado, hablando con ONG y personas voluntarias para dar forma a la idea, la firma vasca lanzó su proyecto en abril de 2020, en pleno confinamiento. “La pandemia y la distancia social obligatoria han supuesto el aumento de ofertas de voluntariado y empleo virtual; en este momento, un 16% de nuestra oferta es de ​voluntariado online y esperamos que crezca de manera sostenida durante los próximos años”, apunta Boned. El teleacompañamiento a personas mayores en situación de soledad, o la recopilación virtual de libros y archivos multimedia son ejemplos de esta nueva modalidad de voluntariado.
