Analysis of Army Recruiting System--Selection and Training

Abstract

The U. S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) requested BESRL to conduct research on ways of identifying recruiters whose performance is unsatisfactory. A meeting was held to discuss the dimensions of the problem and develop a research strategy. The BESRL representatives were discouraging about the possibilities of finding a selection instrument that would differentiate accurately between effective and ineffective recruiters. Because predictor data for the Recruiter Self Description Blank (R-SDB) on practicing recruiters were readily available and USAREC representatives felt they could obtain sound criterion ratings, an agreement was reached to do a quick analysis of the R-SDB scores and ratings of effectiveness on the job.
