Title: Interest gauge for a corporate recruitment guide.
Post by: Ashar Kor-Azor on 18 Apr 2010, 02:53: Post here if you want me to do a writeup on how I got my gender-restricted, racially-restricted lolnun corp of ostracized crazies up from ten members to fifty in two months, and peaked at 20 on average.

This is about the one thing I do well, btw. Well enough that the likes of CAIN used to hire me to hold conferences for them and paid me dozens of millions per corp per conference, back when that was srs monies.

Post by: Ciarente on 18 Apr 2010, 03:30: I've heard over and over in the time I've been in Eve, 'why can't I grow my corp', so, yeah, it would be a good resource, I think.

Post by: Natalcya Katla on 21 Apr 2010, 08:31: I learned recruitment from Ashar. It allowed me to successfully recruit about 30 players in the span of a few months.

Unfortunately, almost every one of them played for one or two weeks each and then abandoned the game without another word.

I is terrible Marshal. ._.

Title: Re: Interest gauge for a corporate recruitment guide.
Post by: Milo Caman on 07 May 2010, 10:13: I tend to keep an eye on local (occasionally recruitment, when feeling brave) for newish people trying to RP in the channel, or peeps with interesting Bios.
A lot of my recruitment is pulling in friends, friends of friends and the like. Works pretty well.

Metal music and bacon? I've never seen a corp with such refined tastes. To those metal/bacon enthusiasts launching recruitment campaigns based on such a platform, I say Bravo!
Title: Re: Interest gauge for a corporate recruitment guide.
Post by: Kazzzi on 13 Jun 2010, 20:12: Ive recruited about 20 good pilots in the past couple months with the metal/bacon ad. Appreciation of metal and bacon is a corp requirement.

Edit: make that 21 :D

On a more serious note, go away, I'm dealing with life shit for the next few weeks and then I'm writing this guide more until I can present the first chunk.
Title: Re: Interest gauge for a corporate recruitment guide.
Post by: Alexander Rykis on 09 Aug 2010, 03:35: I'd be curious as to what you had to say, but recruiting itself isn't that hard.

To recruit, you need patience. This is especially true when first starting out, as you have to be on your charismatic A-game to get your initial foundation. Also, finding a nice balance between keeping your current foundation entertained while still finding time to recruit is difficult as well. Eventually though, you'll find your core group of guys who are gonna stick it out with you. Those are the guys you build around. Active public channels, relaxed atmosphere and friendly members will attract lots of attention. Don't get frustrated when people tell you no.

I ran a capital construction corp in 0.0 for six months and we had nearly 100 members at it's peak. I think that took me about... two months? Two months to get 85 people with a 15m SP minimum standard. Once you get over the initial hump of being a brand new corp with only a handful of members, it gets easier. You just have to stick with it and keep your members interested during the crucial building phase.

NOTE: People tend to avoid corps that are only a week or so old... usually because they don't want to waste their time with a CEO that's gonna give up and flake out.

Hope this helps

Post by: Ashar Kor-Azor on 27 Sep 2010, 08:41: BROSEF

I don't know how possible this shit is right now, what with the extremely limited contact list and everything else.

Also, I just came out of cryo and I'm working twelve hour days already. And I HATE EVERYTHING.

Maybe this week I'll finish it.
