Recruiting Resource and Goal Allocation Decision Model.

Abstract

This report presents an attempt to construct a mathematical model that could be used to allocate Air Force recruiting effort based on recruiting organization and demographic data available at the Air Force Recruiting Office level. Such a model based on a non-linear market response function and a dynamic programming allocation routine was developed and tested with actual Air Force data. The model was one already formulated and tested in a sales force marketing environment. With the aid of the model designer, it was modified to meet Air Force Recruiting Service needs and data availability. The model has been further modified to include several Recruiting Service organizational requirements. Validation of the model against actual Recruiting Service allocation decisions was performed and model resource allocations were very close to management decisions. Suggestions as to management use of the model in forecasting and recruiter productivity are also made in the report. (Author)
