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?

You guys are missing the point of the nominations and not applications...we don't WANT people who would otherwise go unnoticed...

I hated the applications. They were suck-up things and some people just had way too much of an ego to write them without coming off cocky, or they would put way too much and even if they were qualified, I wouldn't want to hire them because they were just trying way too hard. I want people to just naturally stand out, not stand out because they put a lot of crap on their application.
