How do you hire staff?

[Xyphien]

There are lots of ways to hire members into the staff, including but not limited to; messaging active members you feel are worthy, having the community vote on them, as well as applications.

When you hire staff members, how do you go about doing this?

I try not to hire from within unless I know that there really is a great member that would make a great staff member already on the forum. The problem that I find is that I don't want an active member to disappear and to turn into a staff member. I usually hire by posting around on promotion forums to see if anyone I know from there might be interested.

Huh, I never thought of it that way to be honest. Though I tend to host events where the four people I think would make a good mod are chosen. And they run campaigns to see who the community votes for.

I start off with some applications on forums that allow it. But most of the time also hire online friends from back in the day who I can trust.
