Coast Guard Recruiting Command (CGRC)

Detached Duty Recruiter Coworking Spaces

1.0  GENERAL

1.1 Background - In response to the absence of brick and mortar offices in detached locations, where Coast Guard recruiters operate, the USCG is initiating a program to contract coworking spaces. These spaces are essential for maintaining professionalism and privacy while conducting interviews and meetings crucial for recruitment efforts. Recruiters in detached locations also have the responsibility of assessing the need for permanent recruitment presence. Providing them with dedicated workspaces supports day-to-day activities and aids in evaluating the necessity for long-term recruitment resources. This initiative underscores the USCG's commitment to effective recruitment by ensuring recruiters have the necessary support to represent the service professionally and engage with prospective candidates effectively.
