JRut, you're pretty much right on.
In addition to what JRut said, recommendations from collegiate officials, from what I am aware of, is also very important.
2 D3 assignors whom I have met start with such recommendations before ever lending consideration to hiring new officials. Basically, if one of the assignors' trsuted officials says another official they know can be trusted, then that new official will have his/her foot in the door.
