Recruitment Process (2015 Update) [BE-Cert/1]

Over the past few weeks we have codified and documented the new full process for Recruitment.  This routine should be performed for every new recruit.  It's easy to track progress, and the Command Staff owes it to each new member to instruct them on company policies and procedures.

What follows is the process that should be completed (in order) to take a Recruit to an inducted Sao-Wei in the L.C.C.

1. A Wild Potential Recruit Appears!
2. Preliminary Stage
• First Impressions
• Personality counts, folks.  If you don't like 'em, we need to shuffle them along.
• Full Disclosure
• Make sure the Recruit understands that we are Mil-Sim, and focus on Group Actions. 
• We invest a lot of time into each Recruit.  Make sure they are committed.  
• If they are uncomfortable, this isn't what they are looking for.
• Set TeamSpeak3 Tags [Recruit] and [Visitor's ID]
• Sang-Wei can Set [Visitor's ID] and [Recruit].  This is what Recruits who are in the unit (in-game) should be set to.
• Interview Stage
• Set up the basic information in the Community Manager.
• In the Community Manager, Recruit [1] is a new Recruit, and Recruit [2] indicates we are ready to offer induction.
3. Observation Stage
• Recruits will spend roughly 1 Week (at least) as Recruit.  If Recruit wishes to stay, he'll know by then and we'll know if we want them. 
• Observation will continue until the Zhong-Shao is satisfied and the Command Staff endorses Induction.
• Recruits may be dismissed for any reason during this stage.  
• Remaining a Recruit for too long, or failing to complete basic Community Manager information are the main case for dismissal at this stage.
4. Induction
• Promotions are primarily done on Fridays and Saturdays by the Zhong-Shao.
• Offer induction to the Recruit.  If they refuse, they are dismissed.  If they accept, they will take the Oath of the Keepers and be marked [Sao-Wei] in-game and in TS3.
• Make sure Community Manager is filled out as much as possible.
5. Training
• Basic Certifications need to be completed within three days of the Recruit joining.
• Strategy and Tactics within a week of joining.
• These last two are to help clear up confusion and show how the unit operates.  No 'soft-hands'.

This is the pattern that has evolved naturally, so we decided to formalize the process since it was so successful.  It is presented here so the Command Staff has access to the information they need, and a handy reference to boot.  Implementing this process will greatly hasten our processing and handling of new Gatekeepers.

Good Hunting!
