Recruiting Assistant (RA)Process
Recruiting Assistant starts to generate leads
within their respective community. Once the RA
finds an interested applicant wanting to join
the ANG, the RA completes a pre-screening, asking
as few questions as possible and then contacts
the assigned ANG Recruiter to set-up an
appointment for the applicant. Note Before the
appointment with the recruiter, the RA will also
enter the potential airmans profile data into
the ANG RAP web site portal. This notifies the
recruiter ahead of time that the RA has a solid
lead.
Recruiting Assistant accompanies potential member
to appointment with recruiter. Objective is for
the recruiter to close the sale and
establish dates for testing and MEPS. The RAs
role in this appointment is to reinforce the
applicants decision to join the ANG.
The RAs role, once the testing and MEPs
appointments have been set, is to ensure the
applicant stays engaged and makes it to their
respective appointments, while helping them
prepare and providing them support.
Contractor is constantly monitoring the
process via the web site portal and makes contact
with RA as needed.
The RA serves as the new enlistments sponsor,
ensuring the members stays positive and
qualified to go to BMT. The RA will receive
their second 1,000 (1099) upon the member
starting BMT.
If applicant qualifies for entry into ANG and
enlists, the RA will be paid upon the new
members information being confirmed AFRISS and
loaded into MilPDS. RA is paid 1,000 (1099)
approximately 15 days after enlistment.
