# Recruiting

> Applications, independent scoring, and trials with a real review date.

Prospects apply themselves, staff score them independently, and a passing tryout
becomes a trial with a real review date. Each stage is moved by one specific
action.

## The pipeline

<Steps>
  <Step title="A prospect applies" icon="hand">
    `/tryout apply` — no form to chase, no DMs to collate.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Staff work the queue" icon="list-check">
    `/tryout queue` shows what's open. `/tryout schedule` sets a time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Each evaluator scores" icon="star">
    `/tryout evaluate` — independently, without seeing anyone else's numbers
    first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A decision gets made" icon="gavel">
    `/tryout decide` passes, waitlists, or declines — once enough evaluations
    are in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A pass starts a trial" icon="hourglass-start">
    They land on the trial tier and the clock starts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A human closes it out" icon="flag-checkered">
    On the review date, `/tryout trial` passes, extends, or ends it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Applications can also end at **waitlisted**, **declined**, or **withdrawn** at
any point before a decision.

## Scoring

`/tryout evaluate` opens a form asking for one score per criterion, plus a
recommendation and private notes.

The default rubric is mechanical skill, communication, game sense, adaptability,
chemistry, and reliability — each out of 10.

<Tip>
  Enter scores in the order the form lists them, space separated:
  `9 8 9 8 9 9`. The form's placeholder shows the order for your division, since
  the rubric is configurable.
</Tip>

<Note>
  **Every evaluator's scores are kept separately.** Averages are worked out when
  you look, so you can always see who said what rather than a number nobody can
  trace back.

  Re-running the command replaces your own scores and touches nobody else's.
</Note>

## Trials

A trial has a review date. When it arrives, the bot posts a reminder in the
staff channel. That is all it does.

<Warning>
  **Nothing is promoted or cut because a timer ran out.** `/tryout trial` is how
  a decision gets made — and `extend` is a legitimate answer when you need more
  to go on.
</Warning>

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="pass" icon="arrow-up">
    Promotes them to the division's configured destination tier.
  </Card>

  <Card title="extend" icon="clock-rotate-left">
    Pushes the review date out. Say how many days.
  </Card>

  <Card title="fail" icon="xmark">
    Ends the trial. Profile and history are preserved.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Tuning it per division

`/tryout config` sets how many evaluations a decision needs, how long a trial
runs, which tier trials sit on, and which tier a passing trial graduates into.

```
/tryout config division:SNP-M evaluations:3 trialdays:21 destination:ACADEMY
```

## What applicants can see

<Info>
  `/tryout mine` shows a prospect their status and, eventually, their outcome —
  passed, waitlisted, or declined.

  Scores, notes, and the reasoning behind a decline stay in staff channels. That
  means evaluators can be blunt in writing without it ever becoming a
  conversation.
