1. This message solicits candidates and outlines the application process
for members interested in recruiting duty in AY19.
2. The job of a CG Production Recruiter is to recruit the best possible
applicants to fill the multi-mission and critical specialty needs of the
Coast Guard. Recruiters make daily decisions on how to bring in the
applicants most suitable to become a shipmate in our service. Their efforts
shape the next generation of Coast Guard men and women. They recruit for active
duty and reserve enlisted, and all non-Academy officer programs. Recruiters
visit schools, colleges, clubs, community centers, etc. to advertise Coast Guard
opportunities, identify prospects, and develop relationships. Recruiters often
engage parents and siblings to garner support for the applicant's decision.
Recruiters work irregular hours and perform travel to accomplish their mission.
In addition, recruiters conduct the screening, processing, and accession paperwork
corresponding to an enlistment or commissioning. Prospective recruiters should be
energetic, demonstrate infallible character and professionalism, and show a spirited
focus on building a workforce to support Coast Guard mission needs and the Coast
Guard's Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. The selection, motivation, and
training of the recruiter work force is a top priority to meet the Coast Guard’s
human capital needs. Please visit GoCoastGuard.com to see Coast Guard Recruiting
in action.
