Welcome to the Unturned Recruiting Guide!
As members one of our goal is to recruit pubs from eGO servers and help them to become full fledged and well-informed members of the community. We do work hand in hand with the great people that make up the PSC division. We get the recruits the sign up and post their applications and the PSC reviews their applications for approval.
Our job doesn't end when a person is signed up on the forums and their application is processed. We are also here to ensure that the members we have recruited enjoy their time here at EdgeGamers. We should keep in contact with the people we have brought into the clan and show them the basic ropes of what EdgeGamers has to offer.
This guide will contain tips and useful information for you to utilize when you are out recruiting. Recruiting is something that the clan as a whole should be doing.
What is recruiting?
Recruiting is the act of getting public players on eGO servers to join our community. It also entails the process of ensuring that these recruits have a pleasant and fun experience in their time with eGO.
What are some tips and guidelines for recruiting?
1. Recruiting is a task that requires lots of communication.
2. Only recruit in EdgeGamers servers. Recruiting anywhere else is frowned upon.
3. Make sure you have the proper links to the information any player would need on hand. (The necessary links for recruiting can be found below.)
4. Ask the player for their age. If they are under 13 they must fill out a COPPA form. (Link below.)
5. Stay well informed with up-to-date EdgeGamers news. (Example: Tournaments, events, etc.)
6. Let the player know about our TeamSpeak. (Link below.)
7. Don't overdo it! Recruit at a pace you find comfortable.
8. If a player is known to break rules, do not put your effort into recruiting them.
How do I Recruit?
1. Take a look at the player list. Check for pubs that you recognize and have seen on the server constantly, as these players most likely have an interest in the server already.
2. Start talking to the player in game. Get to know them a bit. If they are known offenders or they don't seem like quality recruits, it's best to move on. Ask them things like...
4. Let them know what an e's job ?to have fun and be a part of the community? is all about.

- Do you need help with anything?
- Ever think about joining eGO?

The Recruiting Process
Step #1: Registration- Once the possible recruit has expressed interest in joining, give them the link to the forums and have them create a profile. Please be sure that they understand that creating a forum account doesn't mean they've formally joined eGO until they've submitted their application.
If they don't know where to start from the main forum page, have them click on the green register buttonat the top. Once they have finished, you will see their welcoming message in the ShoutBox on the front page.
Step #2: Application
- Provide the new recruit with the application link to the 'Start Here' thread in the PSC forums. Have them read the rules, click on the Continue button if they agree, and then click on the Unturned image to fill out the Unturned application. Since they've verified with MAUL already, their Steam ID should automatically be filled out for them. Make sure to let them know that if they have any questions about their application you are standing by to answer them.

- Once the application has been accepted by a PSC member, have the new member re-log in game. Once they return, they should have their shiny new =(e)= tag. Be sure to make them feel welcome and offer to answer any questions they may have about the server.
- If the recruit is under 13, they will need to get their parents to print out, sign, and either mail, or scan and fax (or email) the signed agreement.

Step #3: Retention
- Once they have been approved, you should also try to get them into the TeamSpeak server if they have a mic. You can provide them with the link to get TeamSpeak and our server info. Unturned players seem to have a low retention rate. By getting to know them and welcoming them into the community the chance they stick around increases dramatically.
