Group interviews, how to stand out on such an interview

Some companies practice group interviews with applicants. This method is in demand due to the optimal combination of identifying competent specialists and screening out not very suitable candidates. We note mainly this subspecies of the interviews are practiced in cases when personnel is being searched for such vacancies as a sales manager, courier, sales assistant. A group interview is also used in the selection of personnel for the so-called mass vacancies, which do not imply any special professional training from applicants. However, in any case, first of all, those vacancies are meant, on which the specialist is simply obliged to communicate freely with people, to be as friendly and sociable as possible. You should not be afraid of such a test, but knowledge of its nuances will not be superfluous.

 

In this post, the recruitment agency in Kiev "Gloria" will tell you how to be guaranteed to stand out from the mass of applicants for such an event. Recall that the main activity of the enterprise is a high-quality selection of employees. Moreover, personnel search is conducted here for such a sphere as it. Recruiting from Gloria is a consistently high-quality selection of employees.

 

So, the main difficulty of group interviews lies in the fact that the applicant has to show positively, along with professionalism, competence, and also somehow stand out against the background of other applicants. Immediately, we note that such events are categorically not suitable for those people who work best alone, but the success of working in a team is far from ideal. That is why professional recruiting is usually not used this method.

 

At such interviews, all candidates are usually divided into several groups and offer to perform a specific task. During its implementation, customer representatives or authorized recruiters carefully monitor the actions of each of the applicants.

 

What else should you know and what should you be prepared for if you are looking for personnel through a group interview? Firstly, any such interview is supposed to be rather long and stressful. But after all, such a review at a time allows the employer to evaluate many candidates at once. As a result, even if the interview is delayed for several hours, it is still more profitable than to consider each candidate separately. Plus, the fact that during a group interview the employer is also convinced, and in the stress tolerance of the applicant for the vacant position, and in his ability to navigate in dynamic situations. What is bad is another, the manifestation of many personal qualities for the applicant is out of the question due to the scattered attention of the recruiter, in view of the large number of applicants. But among the advantages of such an interview is worth noting the manifestation of the abilities of teamwork, as well as useful experience.

 

In order for the result of the interview to be positive, one should take the initiative and propose one’s own solutions to problem situations. At the same time, one should not forget about correctness or politeness towards other applicants. But the most important thing with this type of interview is, of course, a manifestation of individuality. The brighter it is done, the better. Take for granted that during the group interview dropouts account for about a quarter of the applicants.
