RECRUITING?
- Thread starter XGC TeezyBoom
- Start date
One thing you'll realize after doing it a while, is that recruiting is actually VERY easy.
What got me to that point was simply thinking of what I loved about our community, and helping to show others. Theres SO much XG has to offer that, regardless of what you're into, theres something here for you.
Just playing with friends in your squad/clan, Game Nights, Clan leadership positions for those interested, the Design/News/Events Teams, ClanCompete, etc... Try to showcase these options to potential members. Its what sets us apart from other Clans/Communities... other than the caliber of our members.
Other selling points would be the foundation of XG. The Honor Code, Rank Structure, and Experienced Leadership. These 3 things are at the core of XG, and have helped it to remain a success for all these years, and are what other Clans/Communities attempt to copy the most.
Everyone has their own way of recruiting, what works best for them. Id experiment with different ways, and try to find the process you prefer. The easiest way I've found is simply going into a match/game by myself, or with a Clanmate (no party chat), then chatting with your teammates. More often than not, by the end of the match, you'll have a decent understanding of who they are, and if they are someone you want to extend a recruitment offer to. If they are down, get some more games in, and introduce them to other clanmates.
The more you can do to expose them to what XG is all about, the better the chances they will want to be part of it
Other members here have also tried to streamline the recruiting process, and make it easier for others. Below is a copy of common recruitment info that you are encouraged to use:

_______________________________________________
The first few things you should bring up to any potential recruits are:
-Have you ever been in XGC, SYN, KoG, or XGG?
-How old are you?
-How much do you know about XG?
-Xiled Gaming was founded in Janurary of 2006. XG stands for Xiled Gaming.
-We have over 60,000 registered members.
______________________________________________
We have four different divisions:
XGC: the division for our gamers 18 years and up.
KoG: this division has no age limit.
SYN: this is our underground division, allows a little more trash talking, and has an age limit of 16 years and up.
XGG: our division for our female gamers.
______________________________________________
We have clans in a variety of different games across all platforms.
______________________________________________
XG uses an Honor Code and it is strictly enforced. XG absolutely DOES NOT allow any verbal threats, sexual harrassment or harassment of ANY kind... We want you to stand up for yourself, but we do ask that you do it in a professional manner. Remember, you are representing XG at all times and we ask that you do it in a dignified and professional way. Absolutely no cheating will be tolerated! XG defines cheating as any kind, shape, or form of online manipulation of the game. Any thing that gives you an unfair advantage of an online multiplayer game. We, under no circumstances, allow bridging, stand-bying, forcing host, Action Replay, circle boosting, straight boosting, de-leveling, or modding. We not only ban modding in matchmaking, we also do not allow any members to be playing in modded custom games.
______________________________________________
XiledGaming.com is our community's home. You can find any information you need or want to know, as well as separate forums for each clan and other divisions. Once you have been in XG for at least a week, it is required that you register on this website. We do not consider you a true 100% member of XG, nor will you be promoted to the rank of "Private" until you have registered. It's free. Once you register, go to the home page and click on the banner that says "Join a Clan", then click on our clan. That will then submit a join request to the clan's General.
______________________________________________
All XG Divisions follow a Rank Structure. A person such as yourself, is what we call a Recruit. Now after you have completed your recruiting period of at least 7 days, you will be moved up to a Private (again, only after you have registered on the website).
______________________________________________
Your Captains and General will tell you about all of the other ranks ,as well as our chain of command. If you would like to see the details of each rank, you can find them on XiledGaming.com.
______________________________________________
I also need to know if you are the only gamer that uses your tag, such as a sibling or roommate? The reason I'm asking is because in XG we recruit YOU, the gamer. Not the gamertag. You are responsible for your own gamertag. If your friend gets on your tag and violates our Honor Code, you will be held responsible. Which means, depending on the infraction, you could get a warning or possibly even be removed from the community for something your friend did on your tag. If I were you, I would add a passcode on my account and make sure I'm in the same room as anyone that is playing on my tag.
______________________________________________
Now do you have any questions at all for me? (answer any questions they have)
______________________________________________
Also don't forget to include information about getting a SYN/XGC/KoG/XDC/XGG gamertag. Let recruits know that Clan gamertags are able to be used when they reach the rank of Sergeant. They must first be approved by a Section Leader to ensure availability, and that it's a respectable tag. You are only able to get a SYN/XGC/KoG/XDC/XGG tag if you are a responsible and dedicated member of XG and you know the Honor Code and Rank Structure.
