I hope this is the right place to post this 
I have been running my corp for a bit over 2 months now and in the beginning I dedicated loads of time on recruitment. Perhaps I was doing something horribly wrong, but after speaking to over a hundred people only a small bunch joined. Tried advertising on cans, advertising ingame and recently on the boards aswell, but no luck whatsoever.
I've looked over some existing corps and noticed that some younger ones are considerably larger. Makes me wonder if there are any tricks to grow your community ? I was aiming mostly for younger players who focus on PvE
Perhaps someone who has more experience in this aspect could give me a few pointers here or drop me an EVEmail ? I would be very thankful :)

To grow big, you need a close core of members. Usually, these people know each other out of game or have been friends in game for a long long time. You can't get that type of dedication from random trial toons.
I do have dedicated members, but I won't have 10+ RL friends playing. A bigger issue for me is not that I cannot get dedication from new people that join, but I am having a rather hard time finding new people at all

Thanks for the input. This was pretty close to what I am doing now. Not recruiting masses and trying to get people that are active. Really careful with assets aswell.
I will try to rephrase my question a bit. If you had a 20ish people corp and wanted to grow at a rate of at least a few members a week what approach would you take ?
I can list things that I have done so far:
1. Searching for 1-2 month players in NPC corps and speaking to them directly. Immensly time consuming, but yielded most members so far
2. Advertising via adverts ingame.
3. Container adverts at gates
4. A thread on the forums
5. Some people were brought in by existing members, but the corp is too small to rely on this as a consistant flow of people
Is there anything I am missing ? Perhaps there is some other method ?
