I just had to respond when I re-read the Original Post.
I don't think xG recruits mods, its more along the lines of the following; Members who find their ways onto TeamSpeak, who eventually earn mod after some time because they have become trustworthy and are active on both the servers AND TeamSpeak (or paid for Mod/Admin). For example, I got mod because I had been active on most of the servers and had been active on TeamSpeak because several staff members told me to get on and join them in their room (the first time of course). Sure, you can gain mod from being active on only one server AND getting on TeamSpeak for 45 minutes to an hour everyday, but suggesting that in-game activity being the key factor and ignoring the TeamSpeak requirement is pushing it. Hell, even the Member Acceptance Message (Member Acceptance Message) that is posted when the thread is closed mentions the TeamSpeak requirement (it's the first thing on the list):

There are a few ways to earn admin mod!
1. Be active on TeamSpeak! To download TeamSpeak click here and then click 'Download Here' and download the appropriate client for your OS. Then just install, follow the 'Easy Setup' guide, and finally, click 'Connections' and 'Connect' and enter 'voice.xenogamers.com' in the 'Server Address' field.
2. Be active on the forums! This is one of the best ways to get your voice heard in Xeno Gamers!
3. Be active on the servers! This shows that you are committed to the clan!"
If you don't want to be alone on TeamSpeak, get other xG members to join you. Or join any channel (other than @@Warriorsfury room huehue) and talk. Some (if not the majority) of the TF2 staff hang out in the same room. Just join us, some of us might know you :D.
TL;DR: Just get on TeamSpeak. Everyone from me to @@MuffinMonster will tell you the same.
