Profile of the Successful Recruiter

Abstract

This thesis develops and analyzes a model to identify personal attributes of a successful recruiter. Expert Systems software is used to elicit from five U. S. Army recruiting experts characteristics associated with recruiter success. Experts included current and former Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) recruiters from various levels of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. An interactive computer program based on Quasi-Artificial Intelligence (QAI) captured the experts' knowledge, experience, judgments, and intuition to create expert systems that can be used to make recruiter selection decisions. The study finds that personal characteristics such as Integrity and Motivation, and skills such as Listening and Informing are substantially more important than the types of attributes generally used to predict recruiter success. Keywords: Theses.
