Staff Members

[Andrew7765]

When you hire staff members what do you look for? I usually look for people who are active on the forum and know what they are talking about. I don't have any yet on my forum as I do not need any at the moment. What do you guys look for?

Depends on the forum niche. There's a lot of these "Staff" threads in this board and I say the same thing. It really depends on the niche. On my HP site, there are extensive applications and most staff groups are required to work 4 days a week on a specific time slot. They get to choose the days and the time slot shift. But, because the project is massive, that's why we require that. They need experience, obviously and the applications are extensive (like I said). They all start off on probation and if they can't do their jobs and follow the guides we've written we let them go and move on.

I look for someone who is active, someone who is friendly and can take part and contribute to discussions on the forum. Also need someone who is fun to make the forum more welcoming

I look for active people, people who are mature, use good grammar and have past experience with XenForo.

Especially the good grammar.

I don't always hire the 'active' members. however they do have to be active.

I don't want to hire every single active member is a better way to phrase it. We have some who I've thought of hiring, but then that would take one of the main active 'members' and then it'd be like only staff posting. It's definitely a balance. I like to hire people for a role I already have in mind and when someone fits that and is also active it's pretty much a for sure that I'd hire them.

There are three things I always look for in a new staff member: grammar, matuiry, and non-annoyingness. Those are the three things that you really have to have if you want me to hire you. There really isn't a set in stone way I judge that; it's more how you come across to me.
