Finding the right staff member

[Martee]

Do you find it easy to find the right staff member for your forum? Do you have problems finding a staff member at all that is actually going to stick around and post on your forum?

I don't run a forum currently, but when I did It was extremely hard to find a person who stayed for more than a few days. In the end I just gave up and went on without any staff. What about you?

when the forum was doing alright i had no problems (other than avoiding nutters who would go power mad when promoted) but when after the move the new forum was struggling i found my staff AWOL - most had joined competitors and one had just had baby - the one on maternity leave is forgiven the rest i would like to castrate

Haha, that seems to always be a problem in todays world doesn't it! But man, that must've sucked knowing they defected that easily, fools! Castrating seems a little bit harsh though, haha.

All my Staff, all 2 of them are my friends that I've posted with online for years. I can't imagine asking someone I don't know that well to be on the Staff

Moreover in our Staff forum, we chitchat about our real life, an outsider will ruin that for us lol

Well its easy to find moderators though its hardcore to find Packagers and Reviewers . There are just not so many people wanting to do those jobs.

Ahh, you were asking about staff for Admin forums?

The packagers and reviewers, are they paid? I imagine these positions will could be tedious and boring depending on the niches

When I ran ForumHoopla, I found the people who I'd worked with on their sites the least reliable. I did find a 13 year old who, although liable to do something without asking, was extremely active and very good. Also I got Shawn from AAF to be my reviewer which was a nice bonus- he did great reviews!

Well no actually they just request more things to be done, the get payed usually with virtual currency or posts on their forums but still they have a though job.

Good to know! Thanks guys for clarifying it for me

Sometimes a simple "thank you" doesn't quite cut it

I don't know about staff members for a website, but I do know about hiring a staff member in general. My biggest tip is to make sure they're the right fit, culturally with a good attitude. I can teach someone the skills, and it works wonders if we get along great.

I have hired staff on my forum only once and the person I hired was someone I knew form real life. However, I have hired a lot of people to work for me. From content writing to marketing specialist to virtual assistants, I have hired a lot of people and hiring someone to work for me has never been a problem.
