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

Don't do it

Recruiting can be a double edged sword. Hours are very crazy but it's what you make of it.

If you can get a "poor" area of the country, with few local jobs, then it will fly by, but otherwise, "Pull the reserve, and hope for the best"

It's what you make of it. Not a bad gig

Ok so most of these guys are talking enlisted recruiting. Because I'm in a medical MOS, I got automatically selected to do AMEDD recruiting. So far it's been good to me. It is stressful at times because not only do you have to find people that are qualified, you find to make sure that they hold all the proper licensing to be commissioned as a doc, dentist, nurse, etc.

From what I've read from these other guys, AMEDD recruiting isn't as stressful. Our mission is 2 per year, if you bring in more, great. But if you can't even get one, you best believe you're going to be in a world of hurt. The 79R that have come to my center have been trying to catch up. It's easier if you have a medical background, but none the less, it's not hard to study up and know your shit.

Spent 4 years as a recruiter "back in the day." Was a field recruiter, small station commander, large station commander and staff. This was back during the "witch hunts" when a General Officer and several CSM's were fired for malpractice. It's the only job in the army where one less than max NCOER will trash your career. My advice, don't do it.

Here's the honest truth from a RECRUITER (Currently).
If you are making the daily, weekly and monthly requirements recruiting isn't that bad. If your station or company isn't making mission then life can be miserable or hell as others have put it. Let me explain in detail what i'm talking about.

Here's a standard snap shot(example) of what your calendar for the day looks like. This is based off the time of year. During the school year it would be different because of school visits, career fair and other things.
0530-0730 Physical Training
0730-0830 Hygiene
0900-1000 IPR
100-1100 P1 GR(phone calls to Grads)
1100-1200 P1 SR(phone calls to seniors)
1230-1400 Conducting Initial appointment with Doe, John.
1400-1600 F2F (Face to Face Prospecting) If you don't make your required appointments for the day by this time (which could be 2,3 or 4 per recruiter depending on your stations MAP requirements) then 1600-1800 More P1 to try and make up your appointments, Which your Center Leader will cover in the morning during IPR. Things will consistently change based off how successful you are being at the type of prospecting. If calls are working they may tell you to go F2F/Hot Knock Seniors that you called or Juniors. If F2F isn't working they may tell you to come back to the office and make phone calls. Now in your calendar you will have time allotted for conducting appointments, building packets, personal development and conducting Future Soldier Training to name a few. Of course if you have to run COURT CHECKS, POLICE CHECKS,BIRTH CERTIFICATE RUNS, DROP TESTERS OFF or Pick up your SOLDIER THAT ENLISTED, you notate this in your AAR at the end of the day. This is MONDAY-THURSDAY and Friday is usually an Admin day which consist of updating appointments or conducting them and update Future Soldiers. Sometimes you will work past 1900 to accommodate a Senior or Junior to meet with mom and dad because they work late or come in on a SATURDAY. You will Building your calendar for the next week plus a skeleton for the following week. RECRUITING is a THREE HEADED MONSTER. If asked to come out again I wouldn't do it, even though I've enlisted for Three more years out here for stability for my family. Working on my degree so I can be more competitive for WO and my career outside the military. If you are a successful recruiter, your leadership will beat up on you to produce more. If you give them ONE Contract, they want TWO and so forth. Your station may be asked by your CO CDR/1SG to provide an extra RA or AR contract for the month so the company makes mission. I've seen RECRUITING break. I mean REALLY GOOD SOLDIERS and they GET OUT. When you come out here your PAY is SCREWED UP for at least TWO Months if not more for AC Recruiters. AGR Recruiters have to go through different channels to get things fixed because OUR BN can't UPDATE or FIX some issue because we aren't ACTIVE ARMY. If you want to know more details or just some general question you can reach me at [login to see] GOV Cell.

LAST I WOULD SAY LOOK AT WHAT (SSG Nicholas Sodano) SAID. HE Explained things to a T.

Most of these comments are correct! I was DA selected for recruiting back in 02. I served three and a half years and would of enjoyed it except my command basically stayed on your back! I earned my gold ring in fifteen months and was made a station commander! It got tougher from there and my command decided that I was not fit to be a recruiter because I would not do things there way! I told them that if they would let me and my recruiters do our jobs instead of all the other bs we would be successful! I left recruiting and moved on to bigger and better jobs! I volunteered to be a National Guard Recruiter in Virginia and became one of the most successful recruiters in the state for four years! Difference was the command and the mission structure! Recruiting for the Virginia Army National Guard was awesome! Oh my Army Recruiting command, three months after I left the BN and CO were caught in an ASVAB scam and there careers all went south! My advise is like a lot of the others! Don't lie and do the best you can! You recruit who you are!

fuck no, I am retired

Depends a lot where you end up or what BDE you go to. I was in the north and it was hard to recruit, so life wasn't that great. BUT I had a good buddy down south who had a great experience, even met his current wife. Individual experiences may vary. It's a great assignment to boost the career, just don't f*ck up.
