Development of Recruiter Assessment Measures for the U.S. Army

Abstract

This report describes the important performance requirements of the Army recruiter job and provides a review of assessment and training practices in the current Army Recruiter Course (ARC), as well as applicable practices in the private sector. It reviews several areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in the ARC. In addition, the report describes how a research foundation for an integrated ARC assessment system may be developed at the Recruiting and Retention School. Finally, three products were developed to assist USAREC in their efforts to develop tools for the training and development of recruiters, the Army Recruiter Performance Rating Scales, a Situational Judgment Test (SJT), and a recruiter in-basket simulation exercise.
