What is your application process for joining the staff team?
When we pick moderators on my forum, normally it is just an application and possible some related follow-up questions. However, I plan on introducing a new application process to pick the best staff members. My plan is:

Payments:
Are you going to pay them via paypal or are they working for perks like being able to post and make their services a sticky. Or are they going to get unlimited access to all sections of the forum, which is normal.
If you choose to pay your moderators, how will you pay them? Will you pay them per action (edit, service approval, etc.), will you pay them daily, pay them weekly, or bi-weekly? I know a decent amount of moderators and the ones who get paid are either paid daily through instant transfer or they get a deposit to their paypal account every Friday.
If you choose to pay them with forum upgrades and incentives, you will most likely have to give them unlimited access to each section of the website so that they can see all the secret methods posted in the VIP or higher sections. Ya know, where the golden methods are Letting them make their own threads a sticky isn't offered by all the forums out there, but it's a nice thing to get since it allows you to put your thread at the top of the listings and you don't have to worry about bumping
Probation Period:
Everyone is different when they get a little bit of power. Someone could seem like an active member and you'd think they're the perfect match to be a moderator. But sometimes that's not the case and the person has a dr. jekyle and mr. hyde complex. As soon as they're hired, they start banning everyone that they don't like or anyone that has the slightest backbone. A probationary period will help you weed out bad moderators since you can basically fire them for whatever you want. It sounds bad, but it's a common practice in daily jobs where people are being assessed.
Thanks,
Razzy After hiring someone you should focus on a few things. Payments: Are you going to pay them via paypal or are they working for perks like being able to post and make their services a sticky.
