That much is a valid complaint - OMGWTFBBQ, You just hired someone and nobody even gots to apply, BS BS!
Which is why in the LAT I established the (menial and painstaking) practice of announcing each hiring season, taking applications over the course of a week or two, distributing them among the surviving LAT Members, tallying up their votes, and announcing the winners (while, to avoid embarassing them, not mentioning publically how many people didn't make the cut).
Ironically, I once applied myself as a LAT while still the chief. I was the only one who voted for me. :-D
