While it does take time to recruit the right people to our Armed Forces, we have sped up Army recruitment by 9% in the last year, and the majority of regular soldiers join in less than 140 days. There are a multitude of factors which impact on a candidate’s engagement with Armed Forces recruiting systems, and we are actively seeking to address these within our measures.</p><p> </p> answering member printed The Earl of Minto question first answered 11/04/2024 13:41:34 answering member 4952 label Biography information for The Earl of Minto
