What do you think about a text field for the applications page?

Our group in Gothenburg is getting quite big and we created a particular working-group to deal with the new applications and giving proper introductions to new applicants before we let them in our group.

One thing that came to my mind is that whenever a Karrot group has a more specific onboarding process for new applicants, it would probably be interesting to have this information on the applications page, a bit like when you have a place description, you could have an description on the applications page visible to all in the group and editable of course.

Would that be useful for your respective groups? Or maybe it wouldn’t make much of a difference? Also, let me know if my explanation is unclear.

It would be great to have such an option - that an applicant could see only something but not everything. We are doing the recruitment and 3 test pickups wit another person - all outside of Karrot and we let people in only after they went through all the process done and coordinated manually.

Nice to hear how it works in another group with similar size! Recently we started with a similar system here in Gothenburg, but 2 pickups only at two different places with two different people and a talk. But I’d like to put up these “rules” to be visible at the group’s application page, just for group members. To be clear, there’s no automation of any process, just another text field at the group’s application page. The page which in Warsaw’s case is the one you see here: https://karrot.world/#/group/39/applications

I will probably have this done in a couple of months, in a realistic perspective :wink:
