how we serve your mission

Prospect scoring

GuardPaths PRISM AI scores each interested prospect on how ready they are to talk with a recruiter. Recruiters know who to call first and who needs more time.

Personalized nurturing

Prospects who aren't ready get follow-up by text, email, and web, matched to their interests and questions, for as long as the decision takes. Many are months away from enlisting, and the follow-up keeps the Guard in the conversation.

Automatic recruiter scheduling

When a prospect is ready, the meeting is booked on the right recruiter's calendar, and the recruiter gets a short brief on the prospect's goals before they talk.

Career exploration experiences

Prospects explore Guard careers through personalized career path journeys. That gives them a reason to engage before they are ready to talk, and gives the recruiter context when they are.

Recruiter and leadership views

Recruiters see their prospects and upcoming meetings in one place. RRB leadership sees lead volume, readiness, and meetings booked by source and area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clients ask before we start

What is AI-enhanced recruiting marketing?

+

AI-enhanced recruiting marketing uses AI to decide which prospects a recruiter should talk to first, to keep undecided prospects engaged, and to book meetings when they're ready. RC Strategies does this with GuardPaths PRISM AI, which the Georgia Army National Guard uses today. RC Strategies delivers two state ARNG RRB programs: the Georgia Army National Guard and the Arkansas Army National Guard.

What does GuardPaths PRISM AI do?

+

PRISM AI is the recruiting AI in RC Strategies' GuardPaths platform. It scores each interested prospect's readiness, nurtures prospects with personalized engagement until they are ready, and books meetings with recruiters automatically. Recruiters spend their time in conversations with prospects who want to talk.

How does AI help National Guard recruiters?

+

Recruiters have more leads than hours, and a lead list doesn't say who is ready. In Georgia, 26% of arriving leads want recruiter contact as soon as possible, 34% are seriously considering, and 40% are still exploring. RC Strategies uses scoring to send recruiters the first group now and keep the others engaged until they're ready.

Does AI replace recruiters?

+

No. Recruiters still build the relationship and guide each prospect through enlistment. RC Strategies uses AI for the work that takes recruiters away from those conversations: sorting leads, following up with undecided prospects, and scheduling meetings.

What happens to prospects who aren't ready to enlist?

+

Enlisting is often a long decision made with family. RC Strategies keeps those prospects engaged with personalized follow-up, and PRISM AI books the recruiter meeting when a prospect is ready.

What results has AI-enhanced recruiting produced?

+

In the Georgia Army National Guard program, RC Strategies has delivered 2,300+ qualified leads in 9 months, and 60% of arriving leads are ready to enlist or seriously considering it. See the recruiting growth results.
