Evaluation of Three Programs to Assist Navy Recruiters

Abstract

The Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) has developed and implemented three programs that use temporary recruiter assistants to aid recruiters in generating contacts and enlisting young persons in the Navy. This research evaluated the programs, identified possible ways to improve their effectiveness, and evaluated their cost effectiveness. A survey designed for these purposes was sent to all NRC district zone supervisors and program coordinators (N=250). Seventy-two percent responded. Survey results supported the following conclusions: Recruiting assistance programs participants are generally effective in generating recruiting contacts; participants have significant residual effectiveness in developing working relationships between recruiters and high school students and staff; and research and evaluation for these programs would be improved by better monitoring of reports filed by recruiters. Survey respondents made useful suggestions, such as offering incentives, improving transportation, and providing better orientation to recruiting.
