    Default Job Vacany Suggestion

    Hello Guys.
    So I was just stumbling this thought when I was speaking to a few members of the Habbox Community.

    So recently I have seen OUR department staff with more than one profession within Habbox which is perfectly fine, HOWEVER alot of fans/listeners have been let down from applying because Habbox staff are taking more then one job, it is unfair.

    These people have alot more time on there hands and can concentrate on there specific department, and I think we should do the same. With alot more time on our hands, we can plan our shows out and make them alot more fun and neater and also plan for that full hour or two.
    So what do you think of this idea:

    Habbox Staff can only have one role within Habbox, and can only apply for another job if that department has no decent and/or many applicants and then they can apply.

    *Like I say it's just a suggestion, I was just wondering what your thoughts would be.*

    No, disagree 100%. The best applicants should get the job. I know where you're coming from, but I just don't agree. A few friends of mine who don't work here applied for Events - they didn't get it (although he is very rich lol). It's about having the best application, and if they truly want the job they'll apply again and again until they get it anyway.

    Plus, you only apply for a job if you know you're going to have time to do it, so the fact that you won't have enough time to plan shows etc doesn't come into it because you only apply for another job if you have time to do it.

    Like you says the best applicants get the job, your friend must of had a bad applicant. For the 'time' thing, thats not always the case. A certain person is undergoing there exams and this specific person has three professions within Habbox. They dont have the time and I can guarantee you that they dont. Also the applications forms for being open, open every two-four weeks and that is pretty long, so they would try somewhere else

    Well see some departments are very hard to get a toe in the door, let alone able to get jobs. Its the best applications that get the job i agree with robbie... I can see what your saying but the department managers to make that decision. Its about what the person can bring to the department and the other people are not over looked. I have 2 trials going as well as being a snr dj, im going thru exams plus work experience but i already plan shows and my rare value on the weekend in advance so then i have time still.. but its also about proving to yourself, time management and to me how much stress i can handle for when irl i come into a situation my skill is needed.

    I disagree just because habboxlive staff are staff for other departments doesnt mean in any way they are doing something wrong, if their application is good then they will be accepted for another role at habbox if they remain dedicated to both departments (especially habboxlive then its fine). I honestly don't think this is a big problem.

    I disagree with that purely because its the best person who gets the job. I suggest this thread is closed soon, its one of those threads which could cause rows.

    there is a rule that you can't be on trial in more than like 2 community department jobs, at least there used to be. I don't think it's such a problem, everyone has to apply and everybody is given a fair chance to get the job. It's certainly not the case that "oh this person works at Habbox they can have the job!" everything is taken into consideration when applicants are picked

    That's not something you can judge, you are not in a position to say whether someone does or does not have the time to work at Habbox - it's their life, they can do as they please and if their managers notice them struggling then they can sort it out themselves. I have masses of experience with staff roles at Habbox and I know from this experience that some of our most successful staff have been members of staff in multiple departments.

    You cannot have more than 3 trials in any jobs at any time. Once you have passed the trial stage however there is no limit to how many jobs you can have. Why do I think this system is fair? As Robbie said, the aim of the game is to hire the best people from the best applications. I will not hire mediocre people for the sake of giving them a Habbox Job over someone who has a couple of jobs at Habbox already and would do a much better job.

    My aim is to ensure that the staff team at this organisation is strong and by ensuring our managers are hiring people based on the strongest applicants is a way to do this.

    Time is the only real problem - and it's very possible to concentrate on more than one department. I believe that I'm quite dedicated and have plenty of time for each department I'm in - and even though HxL may need more planning, it's not fair to stop potentially great staff from applying. Compared to other fansites, we have a huge amount of staff, and I'm sure it's difficult for some people to keep up with it all - even more so if everyone with multiple jobs were forced to quit and be replaced.

    If this was brought in, it would basically be saying that everyone might have applied wasn't good enough... that's the message we'd want to put across...
