NOAA Corps E-Recruiting System Launched
The Officer Recruiting Branch has launched the NOAA Corps E-Recruit System, an online tool to
streamline the NOAA Corps application process. Some of the benefits of this new system include the
ability for applicants to receive instant feedback on their eligibility, online digital submission of
application data, and automatic generation of a completed Application for Commission in the NOAA
Corps (NOAA Form 56-42). Note: At this time, the NF 56-42 must still be submitted by mail with an
original signature. Recruits will also be able to track the status of their submissions, manage their contact
information, and receive automated notifications at critical points in the application process.
Additionally, officers who assist with interviews will be able to manage their assigned interviews and
access interviewee application files via the E-Recruit System. By significantly minimizing time spent on
routine administrative procedures, E-Recruit will enable the Officer Recruiting Branch to provide better
customer service.
