Send us a textHi, everyone, Aaron here. I am not sure if you guys are aware, but Trent, Peaches and I have deep and abiding respect for recruiters everywhere. But like any big DoD system, there could be changes. I hope lots of folks in leadership engage in the comments, tell us where we were wrong- but more importantly, let's have a discussion about how to move forward. We can help. Everything wrong with recruiting- fixed in 63 minutes. Not too shabby. Chapters00:00 Military Training and Preparation: Physical and Mental Readiness03:23 The Role of Recruiters: Challenges and Responsibilities07:03 The Importance of Being Reachable and Approachable30:03 Building Confidence in Candidates32:09 The Challenges of Air Force Recruiting36:27 Targeted Messaging for Special Warfare46:36 The Role of AFRS in RecruitingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pr...
