To get one follower to 675 you need one frozen arms token, which you buy, then you need 9x +3 armor and 9x +3 weapon. If you get a +6 or a +9, you need even less. 42 work orders in a week will give you at least 18 armor/weapon buffs and remember, you got a guaranteed armor/weapon buff each day from the daily. So, i definitely think you must be doing something wrong to not be able to make the new follower +675 in one week.
Even more important is having Harrison Jones in your roster though, so you can level the new recruit to 100 with 2 or 3 missions (2 days max).
