This research included both a process evaluation and an outcomes evaluation of the Army Recruiter Course (ARC). The process evaluation examined seven elements of the ARC: (1) Recruiter Candidates, (2) Course Content, (3) Instructional Strategies, (4) Media and Materials, (5) Instructors, (6) Instructional Environment, and (7) Student Evaluation Procedures. The outcome evaluation examined the attitudes that students and instructors held toward the ARC. Student achievement data and attitudes toward the course were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Data were also collected from instructors. Correlational analyses and multivariate tests, along with other procedures, were used to examine the data. The course is regarded positively by both students (past and present) and instructors. Negative correlations between course evaluations and test performance were found, with the exception of performance in the Recruiter Exercise. Generally, the data indicated that the better the student, the more negative the evaluation. In summary, the ARC is effective and is meeting its primary goal. (sdw).

This report is the last of five reports that document a program on recruiter productivity. This document presents the consolidated results and expands on research for an Army recruiter selection program analysis and a basic recruiter training program evaluation. A brief overview of each project is provided, as are recommendations for future practices. Results reported in this document are drawn from documents, interviews, and data collected from October 1987 through April 1989 at the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, Fort Sheridan, IL, and at the Recruiting and Retention School, Fort Harrison, IN. This research focused on improving recruiter productivity and investigated the potential of the Recruiter Selection Battery - Experimental (RSB-X) to predict performance on-the-job and in training. The project also investigated the quality of the formal school training provided to new recruiters.

"This is an annotated bibliography of research by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) on Army recruiting. Most of the research covered in this report was conducted during the period 1980 and 1999. To provide a framework for this work the research summaries are organized around a model of Army recruitment showing the important factors contributing to successful recruiting. In the model, recruiter production is conceptualized as a joint function of recruiter performance and youths' propensity to enlist. Propensity to enlist is linked to advertising effects and several other environmental factors. Recruiters' performance, in turn, is influenced by their personal characteristics, the training and mentoring they receive, and the level of technical and organizational Support provided to them. The ARI research relating to each of these major components in the recruitment model is documented in this report."--DTIC.

The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), and their contractor, Personnel Decisions Research Institutes, Inc. (PDRI) have collaborated to implement the online administration of the Noncommissioned Officer Leadership Skills Inventory (NLSI). The NLSI measures skills and abilities related to NCO performance, including work orientation, interpersonal skills, and leadership capability. They also conducted research to validate the NLSI as a predictor of U.S. Army recruiter performance. The NLSI was successfully implemented as the first online recruiter test administered in proctored settings worldwide. The validation results indicate that the NLSI predicts recruiter training attrition and recruiters' duty performance, as measured by individual recruiter production (e.g., signed contracts).
