Suggesting to give the following a go: Recruitment drives!
Once a quarter I solicit captains to see if anyone needs more juniors. If so, to return back with the following:
Team Name:
[Your team name here]
Team Responsibilities:
[Generally, an overview of what the team handles]
Junior Staff Responsibilities:
[Generally, what you expect a junior staff to handle]
Specific Qualities The Captain Is Looking For:
[If you have any specific qualities you're keeping an eye out in candidates. Can be as long or as short as needed. Could even have "none".]
Where To Apply, if Interested:
[PM? IRC? A Discord? A google form? Anything goes here]
The list of teams looking for juniors is then disseminated on IRC, as an announcement on staff site and official site, and our official platforms. For official platforms outside of mainsite, additional lettering will be included to state that junior staff applicants should be site members and to invite them to apply for membership with a link. Additionally, the message of the post should emphasize that these are applications and there is no guarantee of acceptance.
I'd like to give this a trial run for one or two quarters before we decide if we want to do this as an ongoing basis.
