first of all, i may not be a recruiter anymore nor even a gentoo dev, |
19 |
but find it appalling that again this issue arises. |

there is a good organisation, but the problem lies in that there aren't |
30 |
many recruiters and that they are burned out very quickely. |
31 |
The 2 quizzes needed must be sent in one by one, approved by a recruiter |
32 |
and then a small interview is needed (for each quiz) concerning the quiz. |
33 |
When i did my recruitements the first quiz always took between a half |
34 |
hour till and hour and a half. |
35 |
The second at least an hour. (read, check, ask questions). |
36 |
Then you need to add the person to the system, which takes a few |
37 |
commands on different systems. |
38 |
Overall recruiting 1 person takes about 2-3 hours at least. |
39 |
None of the recruiters and solemnly recruiters, they all work on other |
40 |
things for gentoo also. |
41 |
This takes time and you can't say to someone hey i'll check you half, |
42 |
tomorrow half again and then day after i'll do the addition itself. |
43 |
|
44 |
The time it takes is providing you are online at the same time, and that |
45 |
the persons connect their recruiters after the mentor approved the quiz. |
46 |
I've had lots of recruitements where they send in the first quiz, but i |
47 |
had to wait a month or 2 for the second. In these 2 months you are busy |
48 |
tracking the person, trying to contact him etc. |
49 |
|
50 |
recruitement of 1 person takes a lot of time if you want to do it |
51 |
correctly. The way the organisation works is as good as we can do it. |

same for the people asking to be recruited, we see that all the time. |
63 |
and it's easy to complain and nag, but is there any constructive |
64 |
critisism here? |
