“We use SignUpGenius for a variety of things — trainings, volunteer sheets for almost all our events on property and group interviews for potential team members in the hiring and interviewing process. It is an easy way for us to keep all the sign in sheets electronically in one place for admins to access the account instead of having a paper system.”
