I am currently looking at requesting Army recruiter for my next assignment. What does the daily life looks like for recruiters now?

I love it, but then again I give 110% everyday. You have to be all in, and yes if you fail in production (mission), it will bring all kinds of extra attention to you, your center, and your command. However, the skills you learn will immensely help you be a better NCO. If you get to a crappy unit that is willing to ignore fraud, then those leaders are worthless and ensure you stay low, get it in writing (for the subsequent investigation), and stay true.

I was DA Select three times for recruiting never did it, glad your doing your research prior to making that decision, good luck to you.

People who hate recruiting have never realized a key rule in the Army. Your experience at any duty station depends only how you look at it good or bad. Saying that recruiting was hard but it was fun you are the first NCO any recruit you put in sees. First rule of recruiting is you recruit in your image. I spent three years in recruiting and for the first year I went home later than I was used to about 7:00pm but after the first year it was nine to five unless you had to go to MEPS. It is hard but can be one of the most rewarding things you do it will be up to you

no no no. think of the worst decision you ever made. now multiply it by 10. that would be recruiting. unless its changed since 95-98, and based on the comments, it basically hasn't.

I was on recruiting duty from 1990 to 1993 I walked into recruiting duty a 11B with master pairchute wings Ranger tab drill sgt air assult badge super ncoers I worked in Smithfield north Carolina and I still have my paper proving my mission 6 a month enlistments a month yea that's 72 a year for 3 years after recruiting I was never got promotated again I had 10 years as a E-7 with 3 years in recruiting I had 13 years E-7

I was a young SGT in Brooklyn when I got there in 2002.
I started to learn from The Old Heads who were the top producers in 2002... and then the war started. All of the sudden none of the techniques worked anymore and to make matters worse, most of the older guys were PCS'ing out. I have never been cussed at and ridiculed so much in my life. I've heard people at all levels cuss me out and tell me that I'm not worth my paycheck, that I'm a POS sorry Soldier (getting yelled at by a CSM in Class B's and he has four ribbons) and then have those same people say, "great job!!! You're the savior of the battalion!" the next day. At that time COB was at 2300 and we were supposed to keep making calls after 2100, which we refused to do.

First thing I will say is that you become like the people you hang around. Do you want to be an honest successful recruiter? Stay with other honest successful recruiters. If you don't have any other honest successful recruiters, go it alone. Be friendly with all of them (you need their help too) but not too friendly. Don't just have them do the wrong thing for you. You're still being dishonest.

'There were many good recruiters, as in good people, but there were many who were pressured into doing the wrong thing and that became easier for them.
Many recruiters were hunting after bodies and not quality. It is a lot easier to get people who have a bad history to want to join. Getting good enlistees (I mean by good people, not just Grad Alphas) requires developing a reputation and a methodical approach, which may mean a couple of goose eggs. (OMG!!!) If you have never rolled a donut, always been honest and have always had good quality, then kudos. Teach others how to do the same.
If you do work on getting quality people to become Soldiers then you will have less people drop and you can be proud of who you put in (making your rest at night a little easier) and you develop a good reputation which eventually makes your recruiting easier as you will get referrals.

Lastly sell the Army and fight objections with knowledge that back emotional appeals.
What's important to that person deep down? Do the right thing. If you've been doing the wrong thing, start over and do it right.

Good luck

I was a recruiter from 98-01; 12-14 hour days Mon-Fri & 9-5 on Sat. You're recruiting even when you're off. But today's recruiting is way better now.

Your day is spent making phone calls, shaking hands in your community, holding appointments. Everything you do is a race against time to try and get that next applicant enlisted. While you will hear bad things about recruiting, there are good things. Great networking opportunity, gives you sales credibility if you want to pursue that in the future, you choose the future of your service, you're more independent in your day to day operations because it's all about results, develop better interpersonal and leadership skills. Hs kids don't care what rank you are, how long you've been in, where or what you've done. That being said you have to inspire others to want to serve in your uniform, it's challenging but makes you better. At the end if you do it right you'll feel proud that you truly helped those young people achieve success and your service be a better place with good people.

I was never a recruiter...but I served with many and never did I hear one say it was worth it...I've heard many say going drill was tough, but worth it. I'd volunteer to go Drill if I had the choice to make, before someone makes it for you. Just one grunt's humble opinion.

Not sure how it is now, but I did my time from 2002 to 2005. I had a good 1SG at the beginning but it was still a rough time in my career. Even when you were doing good, the pressure was still on you. Didn't matter if you were on leave or in school, it totally consumed my life.
