BRINGING DIALOGUE BACK TO INTERVIEWS

Speakers:

Richard Stewart - Talent Acquisition Manager @ Valiantys

Hansel Dunlop - Senior Engineering Director @ Digital Surgery Limited

Daljeet Kukreja - Director of Engineering @ Compass

Extracts

Richard on Challenging Assumptions During Interviews

"So much of what you do when you're interviewing is based very much on assumptions in the meeting, which are based much more on your thoughts and the relationship rather than actually what's been said. But actually, now it has been what's been said, right? And actually, I've coached managers who are very good, but actually they're good at setting the business. But actually, the conversation becomes quite one-sided.

There's no conversation. It's just a dialogue rather than a conversation.

So isn't been my questions that you've sort of have to really look out and how Yeah, yeah. And so why not do for all the interviews? I'm involved, here's why solicit five key clear questions, and what's available is questions and what is actually about the role, but we also realize how important is now to be much more organized so that you can work remotely for those roles, which has to do that anyway."

What do you providers and suppliers thing that we could do more of in the centre that that would help us get to partly faster uptake, but also a better-integrated community?
