Write a Guild Recruitment Profile Players Can Use

A useful recruitment profile answers a player’s first questions without making them search through a Discord server. Explain who you are, what you do together and how someone can join. Be specific about the community you have today.

Lead with region, activities and atmosphere

Use the opening paragraph to describe your guild in plain language. Include your region, usual timezone and main activities. Explain whether you are a relaxed social group, a progression team or a community offering several ways to play.

For example: “We are an EU guild focused on relaxed open-world play and learning group content. Most of us play on weekday evenings. New and returning players are welcome, and our event sign-ups explain what experience is needed.” This is sample wording, not a description of a listed guild.

Describe sessions a recruit can actually join

List a few recurring activities and their normal times. Separate a regular team with attendance expectations from an open session anyone can join. If an activity is still being planned, say so.

• Open world: explain which events or exploration sessions you enjoy.
• Fractals: state the tiers you normally play and whether you teach newcomers.
• Raids and strikes: explain the group’s experience and learning expectations.
• WvW: explain session times and where recruits should get current joining instructions.
• Guild missions and social events: tell new members where to find sign-ups.

Fractals have their own progression and agony systems, so avoid describing every fractal group as suitable for every player. Give recruits a clear starting point and link a reference when it helps.

Be clear about requirements

Explain voice chat, attendance, experience and build expectations in practical terms. Mention any content access a recruit needs for your planned activities. Distinguish requirements for joining the guild from requirements for a particular organised group.

Avoid promising support you cannot regularly offer. A small guild that runs one dependable event each week can describe that honestly and attract players who appreciate the same pace.

Make the first step obvious

Add a working Discord invite or application link and tell newcomers where to introduce themselves. If an application is required, explain what information is useful and what happens next. Keep private account credentials out of your recruitment process.

• Check that contact links still work.
• Give an in-game or community contact where appropriate.
• Explain how someone joins their first activity.
• Update recruitment status when a team is full.
• Review your profile whenever your regular schedule changes.

Welcome people after they arrive

Recruitment continues after the first hello. Introduce the new member, show them where events are posted and invite them to an activity that suits their experience. A clear, friendly first week gives someone a reason to come back.
