For a while now, we have been trying out group interviews as part of our selection process.
Being a Recruitment Consultant is all about how you sell yourself and opportunities, and sometimes it is very difficult so spot the personalities we look for from a CV.
The Group Interview format that we have been using is a mix of activities designed to highlight sales and communication skills. We have learned a lot about people in these sessions, and feedback tells us that people actually enjoy coming and sometimes learn something about themselves.
We have had some funny moments to, as you can imagine, but so far - we have been pretty successful , and met a lot ofnice people - although have yet to make our first hire from this process, so I am keen to prove that this method of selection works.
On the subject of hiring, we have just hired a couple of new people for the UK - Jenny and Kevin, both doing well so far ! - also had Fredrik join us in the Norway, and Ozan in Singapore !
