[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The system definitely needs tweaking. I think that the au pairs are simply overwhelmed with the number of connection requests and cannot process that much information at once. This stalls the whole process. [/quote]

Agree.  I'm 18:44 from yesterday/above.  Was talking with my current AP and she though it would have been way too overwhelming to deal with as many as 10 families at once.  She said that would have been terrible and that she'd rather evaluate possible HFs one at a time.  In the past, candidates did have a built in incentive to evaluate and communicate with HF relatively quickly (because they were held), and also I think that when candidates delayed responding under the old system, I saw that as the poor quality/unprofessional candidates sort of self-selecting themselves for rejection from me (no reply to my email after 3 days?  bye!).  There is still some of that (as a PP noted, if I can see you have logged in, and yet you have not responded to my connection request for 3 days, I will disconnect from you).  But the system is not designed well and I can see where APs may have far too much info to timely and fairly evaluate their options, thereby slowing the entire process and thwarting what might have been good matches under the prior system.

Again, I think the "single HF hold" was too far in one direction, but they have swung wayyyy to far in the other direction now. [/quote]
