Perhaps we need a trade in the Trg Dev branch for NCOs to remuster into... something like Recruiter. We can get them qualified as HR specialists and let them loose on the public. Give them wide latitude on the processing of files. One challenge of course will be the inherent non-deployable nature of the trade, but sometimes we have to make accommodations...

The CAFRG does run Recruiter Courses for both Reg and Reserve candidates. I attended a Reserve orientated one in Connaught run by the local CAFRC, and then attended the CAFRG combined one in Borden/Barrie a year or two later. Many of the staff at CAFRCs are PRes. Having qualified Reservists as Recruiters is not the problem, as much as the sluggishness of the whole system, and the various timings to meet "Priorities" such as ROTP selection that shut down or slow all other recruiting to a snails pace. Add in the factor that we now do much more detailed security checks than we did pre-digital age; not to mention the contracting out of services to civilian contractors.

NAVRES sends their unit recruiters on the course as a condition of the class B contract.

It's a prerequisite for Army reserve recruiters as well. However, as much training as possible will not speed up a broken business process, with overlapping and redundant checks and balances.
My unit just enrolled a new off-the-street officer who had been in the process for two years. Now, with our current training system, it will be at least two more years before he's employable in his MOSID.

This is not correct. CFRG has a mandate for and funding to conduct PRes applicant processing. If anyone tells you it is done on a "space available" basis, it is simply not true. What is true is that PRes recruiting is low the CFRG priority list, with ROTP being the top priority. You are correct in that CFRG is not funded for PRes attractions efforts. This is the responsibility of the respective environments, and their subordinate formations. It is a subtle distinction, but significant if you are negotiating with your local CFRC/Det for processing horsepower.
