Speaking as the person who developed the 'Team Leader' system at HxHD I don't think it needs bringing back whilst HxHD is a lounge and only has 12 staff members.

Back in the day when I introduced the system, we had 6 members of staff in each group and that was just normal staff. This was back when we were a fully fledged Help Desk and I was running about 40 staff.

I'm not a fan of reccomendations but as Josh said HxHD are never looking for more than 1 or 2 new staff so applications are pointless.

I used to take on 16 new trialists on a monthly basis, as HxHD needed staff constant recruitment was the way forward back then.

Btw Dogboy, not to be rude but you have no idea what happens with applications clearly... at the end of the day it probably comes down to whether managers can be bothered to read them.

I know MattGarner has been trawling through nearly 100 applications on his own today for instance.

HxHD used to get 40 or 50 applications everytime I opened apps - and even then the successful applicants would have to attend an interview.

But times change... and I dont think whilst HxHD is a Lounge with a staff limit it should start using procedures used when it was a huge organisation within itself.

Whether HxHD should be a lounge OR have a staff limit is a completely different set of issues and I can't be arsed to start my annual rant about that

Erugh enough with all the formal language already ;]
Hm yeah there could be application's actually..
Help desk should stay a help desk.. every now and then we get people asking things mostly how to get a Trading pass,
Rec's can get unfair by people reccomending their fiends.. been there and seen it, so there should be applications.

I remeber sacha getting recc because she was liked by the other staff memebers and she never even helped. So yeah i think apps should be brought back

[Immenseman]

yeah, there's that too. people will rec their friends, not even because they're good staff. also, people ask to be rec'd. i know there are things in place to prevent this but it does happen.

Yeah I think apps should be brought back (even though I don't play anymore) however an interview process is also needed. I personally think some choices have been chosen because they were liked, rather than earning the position from helping .

If people gt recs because it's their friends then it wont be counted and they'd get told off

However if they rec their friend, doesnt mean it cant be a valid rec, if someone truley deserves a trial they get one friend or not

[Sharon]

Bennyyy how you can be sure they aren't reccing them coz its their friend

[scott]

Applications were good other than when you got 50-60 and there was quite a lot of good ones and having to go through all them in interviews myself. Rec's are okay just now i suppose since it's such a little team

[dogboy123]

They dont, all the staff have been reccd at some point and all are very active.

Even if it is their friend, they still deserve to be recd

[Immenseman]

Yeah but people end up reccing just because the individual is their friend.
