Recruitment Meeting - 7/16/11

Battlefield Recruiting Meeting

7/16/11 - 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific
Held in Ventrilo

Our division's recruiting has declined steadily since our best month ever in April. As such, I am holding a meeting for everyone in the division that is interested in recruiting. This is not a "recruiting team", this is not a "recruitment drive", this is simply a meeting where we are going to be discussing the new methods our division will be using to recruit. There is much to talk about, so this meeting will last around 30 minutes. As it stands, we are getting 20-30 recruits per month. With as many members as we have in the division, this number is extremely low.

I plan on taking a more informal stance on how we recruit. My plan is to have as many of our members as possible recruit just a couple members each month. There are around 100 active members of the Battlefield Division and there are 30/31 days in a month. When I was in my recruiting prime, I was pulling 10-15 recruits per month. If each of us recruited that many, we would have 1000 new members each month. Obviously that's not attainable, but there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to each get one recruit a month and bring in 100 recruits.

Please show up to this meeting if you are truly interested in helping our division grow, become stronger, meet new people, and earn rewards for your hard work. Recruiting is a good way to get noticed in the community and is of utmost importance to the community.

Please respond if you are going to make it!

[KentuckyGhost]

I try to show up; but I may be on the road until late into the evening

I share your feelings about recruitment. I'll try to make it, but will have guests for the weekend so we'll see.

Honestly, this is very attainable - we have times when there is ONE eGO member on the server and it's full. That's 31 potentials right there. Man, that makes me want to get on right now and recruitz.

 

[jtipton.]

I'll be there.

It's a bit more difficult than than because those 31 include:

1) Non-responders.
2) People in other clans already.
3) People who obviously will not agree to our clan rules.

I have a couple of people who I recognise and recognise me on the HM server who would otherwise by fantastic recruits, but they all fall under one of the above three reasons. :glare:

 

[Slazenger]

The meeting is tonight! See you there!

I have to disagree with your post. We have 5 servers, which when full is 160 members. It is absolutely incomprehensible that when there are a total of 2 eGO members on all 5 servers, that the remaining 158 will fall into those three categories. I've heard those arguments time and time again, especially when I was heading up the recruiting section. Whereas there will be times when pubs fall into those categories, when we see 2 members/160 slots it shows there is definitely room to recruit, both from the regulars and new to our servers pubs.

 

[iEye Captain]

I see where you're coming from.

I'm only comparing it to CS:S recruiting where I would argue it's a bit easier, more often than not because in CS:S, people stay dead until next round, i.e. there is time to chat with them. In BC2, especially on our fast respawn, I find that a lot of people ignore chat

Also, for me personally, I have to be comfortable that any recruit I get won't be banned in 3 days or quit in 5. I try to get to know the people and have them know me, and have them witness our admins' good conduct to build a convincing argument for them to join.

Having said all that, I'll try to make a more concious effort to recruit, regardless.
