Evaluation of Recruiter Performance Measures and Policy

Abstract

Effective selection of recruiters is essential to the success of recruitment. To meet this objective, the Recruiter Selection Battery- Experimental (RSB-X) was developed. The RSB-X was administered to over 400 recruiters who entered the Army Recruiting Course during May and June 1985. This report documents the results of the first stages of an attempt to examine the ability of the RSB-X and other characteristics to predict recruiter success. On the basis of interviews with key U.S. Army Recruiting Command personnel and examination of performance records for the sample of recruiters, a definition of recruiter success was developed was developed, multiple measures of recruiter performance documented, and data elements of the RSB-X described. These preliminary activities indicate that an assessment of the ability of the RSB-X and other characteristics gathered at the same time to predict recruiter success can proceed efficiently. (KR)
