new hiring process, pros and cons Options

[*incoherent*]

so, i was talking with someone about this about 2 minutes ago and wanted to know what everyone though of how it went being the first time it was implimented.

i didnt want to put this just randomly in another thread, i wanted it to be seen.

so, pros and cons.

pros
-i liked the idea of nominations.

cons
-nominations seemed like endorsements which we did away with due to the fact that only people were picking their friends. i did talk to many mods, and noted it for myself too, that mods werent nominating just friends. i was nominated by 3 people i didnt even talk to.

-not everyone seems to get their chance. just because they dont stand out, doesnt mean they shouldnt be given a shot. sure, there was the discussion thread, but how much of that was taken in when nominations were made?

^x2 I agree, if you have the application process, everyone should go through it.

I'll agree with you Spencer on you saying that everyone deserves a chance. The nominations thing isn't a terribly bad idea, It worked pretty well this time around. However, I would like to give everyone a fair chance. It's like holding an audition (here comes the theatre freak), We want to hold an open audition, and let everyone show their stuff and keep them in mind even if we dont' hire them, atleast it'll show they want to be a part of the staff. We'll keep an eye on them. The nominations thing kinda resembles closed auditions, where the director/producer calls up people they've seen around or know would be good for the part. I think having the applications would give a more open feel to picking a staff member, we want to give everyone a fair chance. Eh, maybe the audition thing was a bad analogy, but hey that's how I think.
