What Should I Look For in a Corp?
1. Active Players in YOUR time zone.
Log on during your game play time and ask around to recruiters HOW MANY players are in corp/alliance chat.
2. A corp/alliance that does what you want to do in-game.
No use joining a pvp corp if you want to mine.
3. Does the corp/alliance operate where you do.
Moving your stuff is a pain ... if you have to move ... do they have the logistics to help you?
4. A corp/alliance that has your range of expertise in-game.
IE. you dont want to join a noob corp if you've been in game a few years ... UNLESS you want to help them learn the game.
5. NEVER pay to be in a corp -or- alliance UNLESS you're getting something you want in return.
IE. goonswarm scam ... join our alliance only for 100 mil
6. WATCH the corp tax.
Why make the CEO rich on your hard work ... UNLESS you're getting something in return
7. Does the corp/alliance treat this as a game -or- a second job.
My experience is ... this is a game ... if you want to treat it as a second job ... you better pay me
How do I Recruit people ?
1. Recruitment Channel is a waste of time.
Filled with spammers ... in 5 years I have yet to recruit anyone worth while from that channel
2. EVE-O forums.
Best resource ... Direct people to your public channel .... Bump your thread weekly ... Bump it during the time zones you want people from ... change the title to 'trick' people into viewing it again ... follow its progress (ie how many views each week)
Same as Eve-O but not as much traffic
4. Spamming local.
Waste of time
5. Getting out in the area where you operate and chatting up the locals.
ALWAYS works for me ... best way to get some LOYAL people.
6. Have a public channel for your corp.
Make your members sit in it and greet people if they show up ... this helps when your not around to answer questions ... MOTD: list offices where they can apply ... list contacts in the corp ... maybe even the addy of your recruitment thread.
