Army recruiters are primarily tasked with assisting candidates through the various steps before being admitted into the army. In the American army, the function of the recruiters generally range from providing possible volunteers with the information that they need and ask for, as well as accompanying the candidate to the testing centers.
Army recruiters are stationed in various recruitment centers in the United States. When a prospective volunteer first meets a recruiter, it's usually just for data gathering sessions, so he/she learns the details of the job. Recruiters lecture candidates about the jobs available, the requirements, the benefits of each job, and the enlistment process. The recruiter also answers any questions that candidates ask.
The recruiter sets the date for a candidate to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test in a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) or a local testing facility. The MEPS is where the physical examinations are done, as well as where the candidate gets to choose his/her military occupational specialty. The recruiter is also the one who provides the transportation to the MEPS.
Afterwards, when the candidate has taken the tests, the recruiter, together with the military counselor, is also usually the one who helps guide the candidate to pick the military job he wants to do. After the candidate has finished choosing an MOS and recieving his papers, he is given the date he needs to get back to the MEPS for shipping to basic training. The recruiter is also usually the one taking the enlistee back from the MEPS.
Army recruiters basically give the necessary information that all candidates must know before they make any decisions. They also guide them through the entire enlistment procedure. This is similar to the normal recruitment process of any other organization, although army recruiters do not have the same human resource-related tasks that regular recruiters have. For example, they cannot fire soldiers or decide their wages, although the army already has standards for these things.
