2. Yes I did for my Updating purposes yes, and you've done a good job at that. But the rest of the board needs to be in on the Recruitment discussion if you ever want to make an impact with it. Well that fact you even state "I could have made some bullshit up..." is alarming that that thought even comes to your head. Are you really game for this position?
What do you mean do something about it? I'm not the one getting paid to do it, nor do I have the patience to wait for the blue team to communicate with me. Your job as the recruitment manager is to set things up, be vocal and get the community talking about it. How is this forum supposed to help you or assist in any way if they don't even know whats going on? Transparency in that regard would break ground and you'd have an easier job by doing so. I should also state i have done something about it. In fact for the past 4 months I have used Twitter almost daily to attract new members, used Facebook to try and spark something and have been posting around leagues. I should also note that my past history in this league in regards to recruiting is massive. So you telling me to do something is more of a reflection of how much you are just sitting idly by.
I'll take this comment as "I really didn't have interest in it to start with". See by taking criticism you could just look at it as a reason to improve. But you'd rather take the "lie down and die" route and that in itself is bad. I do think you have more in your tank to give to that area of the board (which is your job nonetheless) but I didn't think you really are giving your best effort. I mean be honest with yourself here, how much poking and prodding have you done outside the league? Hell even spending 20 minutes a day on branching out to new areas, creating discussion, etc.. would go a long way.
