All qualified applicants will be added to the ST Applicant Roster. Indeed ads will be running year round at all times, so once per week we will need to reach out to the qualified candidates who recently applied.
-If we are not hiring, a courtesy email will be sent (you are a good fit, the position is currently full, we will keep you in mind in the future)
-If we are actively hiring, start hiring process
*Any correspondence with applicant MUST be recorded on roster. This will allow us to follow up multiple times without harassing applicant. Will also allow us to remove applicant if we have contacted many times and never had a response.
***Maybe roster is on Trello***
