i always said, i don't care about your character age or SP. you can fix a skillsheet or gain SP, but you can't really fix an attitude.
I suppose it's just less risk when someone was playing for a few months already and has at least done some of the things you want them to do in your corp. A complete newb might just decide after a few weeks "no, I don't like what we are doing here" or "such a dumb game" and disappear. |

eh, i still had a restriction on characters younger than 1 month, but even after 1 month you're still a newb in this game.
certain people who showed extra promise bypassed the month, however.
like i said, it's all the attitude. i could get a feel for recruits by talking to them, and also by how they answer certain questions i asked during recruitment, like 'out of all of the corps in EVE, why us?' and 'write me a haiku about something' or just as simple as 'chocolate?'
those last two might seem silly, but everyone answered them differently, some even put effort into those answers, some didn't, some saw the humour, some didn't.
it was a real case by case thing. i could just tell if i wanted that person in my corp. You can't take the sky from me

A useful talent ability for recruiting, I'm sure :)

I mean .. what do you do? I'm disqualified for being complete newb anyway and for having a non-existent kill isk efficiency, haha, but I am curious.
Mine, I guess to pidgeon hole, it would be a pirate corp.
However, I don't class myself as a pirate, I don't ransom and i don't use piracy as a means to survive. We are essentially a PVP corp with no morals, noone will tell you can't scam gank or screw someone over. The only exception to the above is you never screw blues, we pride ourselves on being the best friend you can have but also the worst enemy you can face.
Lack of members? Numbers dont mean ****, sow the seeds of desent and your enemy will kill them selves. we are currently in a power struggle in Khanid, our enemies have more numbers and more assets. Guerilla warfare works in the favor of the underdog afterall.
......and i'm rambling.

I am not bothered about newbs, I get that everyone needs to learn the game, however I wont accept 10-30 newbs just to have numbers in the corp. A persons attitude towards life and the game is what is important to me. Ego Sum Mortem Incarnatum - I Am Death Incarnate |

I have thought about this many times over, and to be honest i would love to do this. But i can't find normal members, let alone a perfect ten who can recruit aswell. Ego Sum Mortem Incarnatum - I Am Death Incarnate |

I've decided that I might want to try and do some unsavory things in eve. Take advantage of the unfortunate and dumb people.
First I need to get the stomach though, that's the hard part and then figure out what to do.
