How do students get certified and verified here?

• Students who successfully complete one of our rigorous courses with a 100% passing grade are manually verified through #🎓student-verification by our moderators/staff by looking at their certificates and cross referencing their Discord ID on our website. 
• Verified students are then assigned the @Certified Student role to have access to our #📃application-interviews to start their first round of interviews/screening. 

How do you hire scholars here?

1. The left sidebar of the Discord server has a category called "── INTERVIEW READY Ξ" will show every applicant that has passed our first round of interviews and ronin background checks.
2. Click on a channel and ping @ the applicant to interview them in their specific channel. DM is allowed but please note in the channel you are DMing them so other managers know.
3. If you already have your own application process in place, please upgrade to the @Manager - Read/Write/Announce role to post links to your form or server in #📌scholarship-bulletin and any channels you'd like. 

What do you do after you hire them?

1. Once you decide to hire a scholar and they accepted your terms, you can press the "Hire Scholar" button that is pinned in the student's interview channel.
2. It will close out the ticket and put them under the "── HIRED Ξ" category. 
3. An HGC Staff/Mod will update their roles and nickname accordingly as well to prevent them from being hired elsewhere. 

RULES & MANNERS:

Sometimes it can get competitive to hire the best students here. There are many of us here and was the main reason we had to start charging a small fee to limit the number of managers entering HGC. With that said, we are making great efforts to promote the course and get more certified students in here so that finding new scholars will not be an issue. However, we need some rules to cover below. It will be case by case, but please report any offenders to @HGC Staff.

• It is a free market, but managers are not allowed to "poach, steal, or recruit" another manager's scholar without notifying that manager first. You do not need permission, but you MUST notify them your intentions. 
• However, managers are NOT allowed to **regularly** recruit other scholars under other managers in the server as their strategy. This will result in a ban and is not healthy for the community.
• When another manager is interviewing a student, no managers are allowed to suddenly click the "hire scholar" button and profit off of the other manager's efforts. You must be a part of the conversation or interview process.

More interviewing/hiring rules and manners:

• More than 1 manager is expected to be interviewing an applicant at a time, like the real world. 
• Please communicate if you decide to DM the applicant, and update in the channel if you're done. 
• The applicant must first accept your scholarship offer before you can press the hire scholar button. 

I know we all like private DMs, but the more we collaborate and do things transparently, the less time we'll waste and can move on to the next qualified applicant.
