Answers.Text: Thats right. It uses a reserved profile created by civi volunteer called Notify Me of Volunteer Opportunities. You cannot edit settings for reserved profies, so I cannot make it add contacts to any groups.
  
  I can of course create my own profile to collect this data and add contacts to a custom group but it kinda defeats the object of Civi Volunteer providing this facility....

Body: <p>I've installed CiviVolunteer and have a public facing interest form at <a href="http://example.org/civicrm/volunteer/join" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.org/civicrm/volunteer/join</a></p>
  
  <p>But all this seems to do is create a contact. It doesn't put the contact anywhere that we can easily find them to tell them of volunteer opportunities. Am I missing something?</p>
