[HxHD]

Recently, everytime I'm in HxHD, which I must say is the guest room I visit the most - there is nobody behind the desk. It really is just a lounge, nobody visits their for help anymore - look around and see how many other help desks you see? None. Because everyone else has moved on

As a person who was HxHD manager/Assistant manager once I never really adopted the rec's idea so don't really know if it has been successful myself...

One thing I would say though just because applications will pull in a wider ammount awareness does not mean you will get a lot better applicants a lot of the times I had to go through 60 - 90 applications and only found 3 - 4 that actually answered the questions I asked correctly and sounded reliable...

I remember having four folders labelled 'Def yes', 'possible yes', 'maybe', 'Def no' more often than not 90% of these applications ended up in the 'Def no' folder...

However I can see why the rec idea can be flawed with people choosing their friends people pretending they are reliable but surely people can 'pretend' through an application?

There still is some need for help and because the other desks are dedicated lounges we can still offer that. I think that in previous years the rec system failed but now that the staff are staying longer and things like that the rec system does work a lot better. Obviously it is flawd, maybe the trial period should be 1 month instead of 2 weeks to really test people. If they are that bothered about being staff then they will be put through there paces in a 1 month trial and it would really sort the people out who actualyl want a job.

And ye, it would be nice to see some more events in HxHD, there should be something for Habboxween which sould be good but ye. Its generally looking better for HxHD so I dont think reverting back to some of its old ways would be a very vise move at all.

A lot of you through the thread are talking about how you are trying to get a trial and stuff, but it takes more than say a week or 2 to get noticed by the staff.

Its taken me since april 2008 to get a trial lmao. But seriously, its taken like 2 months

Yeah you need to become friends with staff first and then get them recc you

With recs, I think they are stupid and should be scrapped for Applications. You seem to be forgetting, if there are trials. Most times with HxHD, there only used to be 3-5 people hired at a time with Apps. If you open apps, then most the time you accept about 10 on a trial, then only the best actually get a job. It's not like if you have 2 spaces avaliable then you can only accept two people, you can accept as many as you like, but only two can get through the trial.

I was just about to mention this. Everyone who is offered a trial has passed it with flying colours these past few months. Longer trials following an application and an interview will not only test Habbo knowledge, but also make people work for the position, and not just think because they're on a trial, they will pass instantly (because if that was the case, why have a trial anyway? )

I completely disagree with the applications, reccomendations are a great way of seeing who should get staff as we can see how they are in the desk, aslo it gives staff a chance to say who they want as staff and with applications i think you get loads of randomers applying who dont even know what HxHD is. However reccomendations are accurate.

Change happens, as now its a lounge (dont kill me for saying that) we didnt need as many staff members. Hence no need for TLs etc. And theres no point hiring tls for when say 6months or w.e theres a new manager a tl is there, within a few days I'll be settled in.

With Jin the new owner of the desk, he's on habbo alot more to change the layouts and new ones are planned

We do run 2 quizzes a month with the oppertunity to win Vip, I'll get this sorted !

I take Ben's side in this tbh. I think that reccomendations you do have to be really dedicated and with applications you can just bluff your way through them. Whereas, if you are reccomended you're efforts have been recognised and you truly deserve to be apart of the team.

By chance, you're not looking for a rec are you?

I'm not entirely sure how you can pick the most suitable trialists from just a handful of recommendations, some of which will no doubt favour friendships.

Applications are a much fairer way, and allows everyone the opportunity to apply, and those that are genuinely interested and capable will be given a fair chance to be heard, and not just seen. Just because someone hangs out a lot in HxHD or has a friend that is staff, doesn't mean they are more suitable than others.

The recruiting of new staff shouldn't be based on a criteria of recommendations. It should be based on whose most suitable. So if HxHD wants the best suited staff, there is only one way to go about selecting.
