What criteria do you use for choosing staff or team members?
When I choose staff for my forum, I normally look at multiple things. I need to make sure that they will stay active on my team for a long time and won’t become inactive overnight. Through the application, I look for experience but most importantly, I look for motivation, dedication and interest. I want to hire someone who will be active on my forum and be motivated enough to post and delete spam every day. Experience will come along with time but motivation won’t; it will only reduce as time passes so I put much more emphasis on this when choosing staff. I want to see that the applicant enjoys my forum and shows passion for it. I also favour people who are already active on my forum as that is good evidence that they enjoy my forum.

So, with all this being said, I always look for:
These few things helps me a lot when it comes down to who I decide to hire. I would never hire someone who fails to answer my questions during the "interview process", as that would be a sign of weakness from the start. They either neglect my questions or, are not capable of giving me an answer, and then I'm not interested. It's a different scenario if they don't fully understand the question, but if that's the case they would ask me to give them a better explanation.

hitmeasap This is a really good question. When I established my team I did [u]everything[/u] I would come up with. I created dozens of posts in various forum where I simply stated that I would be hiring people to do this and that, just to spread my word and reach as many as possible. I also stated within my posts what the work would involve. I made bullet points for each task I would need my workers to do and I also stated the salary, "You will get ___ for doing this". That being said, I did this to reach as many possible candidates as possible, so I could pick them out one after another and discussing things privately. It wasn't until here, during the private conversations I started to ask them questions and finding out more about them. Private conversations are always better if you ask me. So, with all this being said, I always look for: [list][*]People who are genuinely interested in the actual project/tasks.[/*][*]I [b]prefer[/b] if they have experience but it's not mandatory as I always teach all my team members myself.[/*][*]Motivation and if they are able to work full time or a few hours.[/*][/list] These few things helps me a lot when it comes down to who I decide to hire.
