Sunday, ranked before you start scheduling.
Scout ranks suggestions for every slot and keeps a bullpen of members who’ve said they’re open. Post-serve feedback shows you which volunteers to check in on this week. Built for the person who plans the week.

The scheduling tool ops coordinators wish they’d had earlier.
Suggestions, ranked before you start
Capacity match, reliability, fairness — already weighed.
Scout reads who declared they can do this role, who confirms when asked, and how recently they’ve served. Suggestions per slot come ranked. You stop scrolling the directory for a name.
What Tuesday looks like for opsBullpen recruitment, warm-started
When a slot empties, you’re not starting from cold.
Members declare they’re open to serve in certain roles on their own profile. When a slot empties, Scout suggests three ranked recruits. Invites land in the member app. Confirmations come back to you, not to your inbox-as-a-wall.
Post-serve feedback that closes the loop
Sixty seconds — four options and a sentence if they want.
Scout asks every volunteer how it went after they serve — difficult, fine, good, or great, plus an open line. Over weeks, you see which Sundays felt hard, which volunteers are running on empty, and which roles need a rest week.
How feedback feeds what Scout notices
Scout reads serving consistency, post-serve feedback, and member capacity declarations together. That’s why drift on a faithful volunteer is a different signal than drift on a new recruit, and why Scout knows to suggest someone before you’ve had to ask.
What Scout’s serving module doesn’t do yet.
- Bullpen works behind the scenes today — Scout suggests recruits and members accept invites in the app. The dedicated staff-side screen is still being designed; for now you drive it from the team page.
- Scout doesn’t do volunteer swap negotiation in-app. Members swap with each other off-platform; staff confirms in Scout.
- Scout doesn’t detect schedule conflicts across services automatically. It flags double-bookings on the same person; service-wide conflict views are on the roadmap.
- No volunteer training certification tracking or background-check expiry yet. Near-roadmap.
Plan Sunday in under an hour — and that’s not a figure of speech.
