Job description / Role

Employment: Full Time

Identifying Candidates
• Recruitment officers assess the need and then fill it. For a job opening, for instance, they learn the specifics of what the position entails.
• They then may turn to résumés they have on hand to begin developing an interview pool.
• They also might scour online sites to discover people with backgrounds that would be a good match or post ads where prospects would be likely to discover them.

Interviewing Prospects
• Recruitment officers talk to people. For example, they may try to convince a high school senior and his parents of the benefits of joining the ROTC in college.
• They might get to know a job applicant better in order to evaluate how the person would fare in a given role. During these conversations, recruitment officers should be prepared to answer questions. Because of this duty, they need a thorough knowledge of what they are trying to promote.

Following Up
• Developing relationships is critical for recruitment officers. They may contact people who have expressed interest to provide more information or to gauge potential. Before an employer offers someone a job, a recruitment officer may be responsible for doing a reference check. If a candidate accepts a position or a student enrolls in a school, a recruitment officer may arrange orientation and keep an eye on progress.
