Once the form has been analyzed, our recruiters will contact you in a ticket directly on our Discord server, and finalize your recruitment. The waiting time can be relatively long, depending on the availability of our HR service and the influx of new members.

Once your application has been validated, you will be integrated as a new PiNGs Scholar, congratulations! You will then be directed to the Scholarship House run by our Builder Pool, to begin your journey with us.

{% hint style="info" %}
Scholars follow a lighter recruitment process than our members, but they can still decide to join the guild in order to have access to all of our services and benefits by starting the recruitment process again, starting with filling out the member application form.
