Embracing Change
Our Resourcing and Talent Acquisition Partner Sarah talks about our innovative approach to interviews.
“At Progress Housing Group, we have recently transformed our interview process by sharing the interview questions with our candidates before their interview. A decision which was inspired by overwhelmingly positive trials.
Why we have changed the interview experience.
“We believe that preparation fosters confidence. By providing questions ahead of interviews, it’s not only eases the candidates’ nerves, but it also empowers them. They can showcase their true potential without the pressure of thinking on the spot. It’s no secret that traditional interviews can sometimes disadvantage those who might excel in roles but falter in high-pressure questioning environments. By refining this process, we are leveling the playing field and giving every applicant the chance to shine.
The benefits for the candidate
“With our new interview protocol, candidates can paint a fuller picture of themselves and their abilities and experiences. They have more time to articulate their thoughts and prepare examples that really highlight who they are and what they stand for. A candidate can now walk into the interview room feeling armed with knowledge and confidence.
The advantages for hiring managers
“For our hiring managers, more prepared candidates have meant more substantive conversations, and it has helped them make more informed decisions, ensuring that we welcome team members who are not only capable but also passionate about driving our organisation forward.”
Moving together towards success
“We are dedicated to creating a dynamic workplace and this process helps support that.”
