HxHD Updates!

and i think you have enough staff as it is :/ just an excuse to hire more dj's probs

4 staff out of 12 are DJs (that's not even half:S). and Ben and I are not DJs. I think it's pretty clear to most, that being a DJ is not a requirement to join HxHD.

I think what would be more effective and this is just my opinion here is to both apply and go via recommendation because from whoever applies you can see who you think is the most appropriate candidate as well as who is often at the desk. If you blend the two together it will probably be a good balance. As for the DJ comment, I do agree the ratio of DJs working at the desk has fallen over the past months - so that doesn't seem to be a factor.

The only problem with applications would be that any random person could come and have a really good application and may of never been to the help desk or may not be active at least with the recomendation System staff can see who is active and deserve to be staff.

tbh you kinda apply with recommendations anyway since the people who want them are constantly asking...

AH AH AH! But you see this is where the manager(s) would decide, do they see this person often enough within the desk, if yes then they can have an interview/trial. This is part of what I meant by blending a bit of both.

Hmm Yeah i do like that idea just i think the recommendation system works better, and the new hxhd updates that was posted by Ben before about the possible trialists, going through a interview stage, isnt that basically the same as what ppl are wanting a interview?

[Grig]

Ah but by some sort of 'application' it would give potentially a wider spectrum of people a chance to get a trial. Obviously keeping in mind that they would have needed to have been around the helpdesk before.

But the application, will mostly be asking basic questions like "why do you want to work in the help desk"

thats why i think the new hxhd update where the possible trialists get interviewed on things they should know to be staff.

Ah but you will actually know who is interested in the job via applications as well.

It used to be application -> Interview -> Trial. I think this is an effective system, if somewhere along the chain you ask the 'activity' question of whether they are in the desk often.

but if you see someone helping out or being active in the desk, then wouldnt that also prove if they are interested in the job and also active, i like the idea of the trialists getting a interview but im not sure if the applications will solve anything.
