Talk:Hiring Checklist

Does this checklist apply to new collective members, exploratory interns, job experience interns, and contractors? I assume it does not apply to temporary workers, as that would undermine the whole purpose of category. I know it was written with hiring for a collective position in mind, (gorsh, how could i possibly know *that*?) and can be/has been used for hiring interns. I don't know about contractors, that seems much more murky. --Ideath 15:44, 29 September 2006 (PDT)

It does apply to collective members and mostly to the paid interns as well (with some slight changes -- i.e. we usually ask for an essay about why a job experience intern wants the job rather than a resume). It doesn't apply to temp workers, for the obvious reasons. The contractors covered in the Staff Contracting Policy were folks working on a certain type of project. I suppose the size and scope of the project would play into whether we go into all that trouble or not. Normally (i.e. outside of Free Geek) contracting is dealt with via a bidding process, where the job is defined and various folks write out how much they can do what for and then the bids are compared. We might want to pursue something like that for traditional contractors.

NOTE: A lot of positions we're probably thinking about aren't contractors in the same way we previously defined them. See Talk:Contractor for a related note. RfS 09:16, 30 September 2006 (PDT)
