Sets out how new personnel apply, are interviewed and are inducted, from Level 0 to their first post at Level 1. It applies Section 1 of Foundation Directive 002. Applicants are Citizens; the Unregistered register at a Registry Office first (Foundation Directive 005).
1. The centres
| Centre | Where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Application Centre | #application-center and #apply on the server; the Application Centre in the Entrance Zone of each site and in Site-01 | Where applicants learn how to apply and hand in Form A-01 |
| Interview rooms | Interview Room 1 and 2 on the server; the interview rooms beside the Application Centre in each site | Where applicants are interviewed |
| Recruitment Desk | #recruitment-desk on the server (recruiters only) | Where recruiters assign, discuss and record applications |
The Application Centre and the interview rooms are Level 0 areas: anyone may enter them.
2. Recruiters
- Recruiters are Level 2 or above, named by their department lead and given the Recruiter role.
- A recruiter interviews for their own department. Class-D intake is handled by any recruiter from the Security Department.
- A recruiter never interviews someone they know personally well enough to be unfair; they hand the application to another recruiter.
3. From application to first post
| Step | Who | Within |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Apply: post Form A-01, or fill it in at an Application Centre | Applicant | |
| 2. Screen: check the form is complete and the rules were read | Any recruiter | 3 days |
| 3. Interview: one session in an interview room, recorded on Form A-02 | A recruiter of the department | 7 days of screening |
| 4. Decide: accept, accept into a different department, or decline | The interviewing recruiter; a Level 3 member confirms | At the end of the interview, or 2 days after |
| 5. Induct: the department's induction, as its handbook describes | A Level 3 member of the department | 7 days of acceptance |
| 6. Level 1: clearance granted after induction | As the Clearance Policy sets out |
Class-D is the exception: anyone may start as Class-D at once, without an interview. Interviews are for the other departments.
4. The interview
- Interviews are in character, held as a short scene, about 15 to 30 minutes.
- The recruiter covers, in order: who the applicant's character is, why this department, a short scenario from the department's work, and the applicant's questions.
- The scenario tests judgement, not knowledge of SCP lore. There are no trick questions.
- The recruiter records the interview on Form A-02 and posts the outcome in #recruitment-desk.
- The applicant can pause the interview at any time, as in any scene.
5. Outcomes
- Accepted: the applicant is given the department role and an induction date.
- Accepted elsewhere: the recruiter suggests a department that suits the applicant better, with that department's agreement.
- Declined: the recruiter gives the reason. The applicant may apply again after 14 days, or appeal to the department lead.
6. Records
Forms A-01 and A-02 are kept by the Recruitment Desk and filed in the applicant's personnel file once they reach Level 1.
