November 24, 2011 by Iain · Leave a Comment
Candidates look good on paper and they interview well, but interviews are inconsistent because they are based on:
• “Gut Feel “
• Unstructured interview questions
• Managers recruiting in their like image
• Candidates misleading on their C.V.

September 8, 2011 by dougodgers · Leave a Comment
