Requirements & Duties for Staff?

[Gamrpro]

So, when you're looking to hire staff, what requirements do you usually look for? Also, after they're hire what do you usually require them to do?

When I'm looking for staff, I usually look for maturity, activity and their ability to manage a forum.

After I hire them, their duties would be to make at least 50 posts a week (less than 5 posts a day). I think 50 posts is quite reasonable. This would would definitely make sure they are always active and not just slacking. That's the only thing I would require them to do excluding to do their actual job and manage/moderate the forum.

Maturity and decision making capabilities are the 2 main requirements a staff should have. Another one thing is whether the person is trusty. Although I haven't set any special requirements like post count per week for any of our staffs here!

Maturity is big. I used to look at age but noticed that younger staff members often act more mature than those that are older. I need to be able to trust the staff as well, I need to be sure that tasks are covered when I'm away.

Being active is another important aspect, I don't have any quotas or requirements but it is a preference.

If I ever hire moderators (staffs), I will expect them to be hardworking and honest. I want my staffs to feel at home and be honest with me and my site.

I require them to be active a bit and just do their job, if they can't. I am willing to look for people who are ready to do their job and not flunk out.
