Having the ABC competing for funds with the ADF makes fairly certain they run negative articles on the ADF potentially turning young recruits away. The ADF recruitment marketing is failing. The actual recruitment process should be managed by the ADF…not contracted out.Is recruitment under target due to lack of applicants? Lack of suitable applicants? Or due to issues with the recruitment process itself?
Is there any information regarding the number of applications made versus the number of people who end up joining?
And of those who don’t join, how many are rejected versus how many withdraw the application?
