The Weekly Marmot - The Recruitment Process
I get a lot of questions about recruitment. Like, a lot. And it's really hard to answer them because, as you should know by now, Every Guild Is Different™. So this week, I try a little experiment. This week I take you through, step by step, the recruitment process that Months Behind (my guild) uses to find new members, and explain why we do what we do and what we learn from it, so that you can hopefully get a sense of what's important in the process and get some ideas for your own group!
