Publisher's summary

Smart, competent, and capable people are rare and in high demand. Every organization-from commercial enterprises, healthcare, non-profit, sports, education, to the military-is in an outright battle to recruit and retain these bright and talented people.

Rather than bullets and bombs, the war for talent is won through high-impact prospecting activity, time discipline, intellectual agility, emotional intelligence, and human to human relationships. On this highly competitive, ever changing, asymmetric battle field, to win, you must operate a level of excellence beyond anything asked of military recruiters before. Yet, in this new paradigm, many recruiters are struggling, and most recruiting units are staring down the barrel at 50 percent or more of their recruiters consistently missing Mission. It is imperative that we arm military recruiters with the skills they need to win in this challenging environment. The failure to make Mission is an existential threat to the strength and readiness of America's fighting forces and our democracy.

Fanatical Military Recruiting begins where the Recruiting and Retention colleges of the various branches of the military leave off. It is an advanced, master's level training resource designed specifically for the unique demands of Military Recruiting.

Rejection is never taught

The book itself was very informative and helpful as a starting recruiter. Going on exercises, missions, deployments we train for all those things but for recruiting… nothing prepares you for the rejections that are to come. It’s definitely draining but learning to overcome that hump, it definitely builds character.

Motivated

As an Army recruiter and ARC instructor this book really connects what we teach at the college and what needs to happen in the station. This is a must read for all recruiters in my opinion!!!

Spot On

I have been in recruiting for six years now and I am really impressed with the research that was done to complete this book Period knowing all of the terminology and struggles and obstacles really shows this authors passion. I have taken many tidbits from this And it is changed. my way of thinking and help me refocus. This should be a basic issue item the day that you graduate recruiter school because it will build a foundation rather than having to remodel and tear down what is existing so just bad habits and poor performance. I attended the seminar and felt that there was no way the whole book was covered in that amount of time and I was correct so I do not believe that I wasted anytime but I do feel this book is a mandatory investment for a career recruiter. Now I am going to start all over and read it again.

Similarities to Fanatical Prospecting

There are quite a similarities to his previous book, Fanatical Prospecting. Still very good value and material in this book. I'd still recommend it.

Should be a pre-requisite

Great insight on what is to come for me. It has also helped with my approach to certain tasks/subjects that are also out of my comfort zone currently. Highly recommend.

from a recruiter on current mission

my interpretation of recruiting when I initially started what's that of any NCO who had been given a new billit or broadening assignment. Get after it, stay hungry and exceed expectations. This is all easier said than done when one has not experienced the recruiting atmosphere along with the trials and tribulations that the recruiting Mission brings. with that being said I want to thank Jeb for writing this book and breaking down the steps to become a successful recruiter in a format which is easily digestible.

Great book!

I definitely enjoyed this book. I’m currently an Air Force recruiter and I’m going to try and use some of these ideas to see how they help and then ad updates to my review after.
