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?

I really do respect that that is your opinion but have you ever thought that maybe he just as qualfied as applicants? And even if you dont, I dont think we should call out new hirees...we are dicussing the nomination process, not individuals who had no say in whether or not they got hired. If you think that is the case then I think it would best to take it up with all those involved in the final hiring dicussion privitely.

Oh and one more thing I would like to add. If we are to continue this nomination process I think we should make it mandatory that all staff p/m those that they nominated that way they are informed of their nomination.

And yeah, I see the valid arguments for both sides.

ahhh, i REALLY wasnt trying to be disrespectful
but i wanted to state my opinion instead of just saying "some of the mods/one of the mods" *flashback to mod performance thread*

i just think its another reason to have more community input next time
