'I performed on stage to get my first job' - the firms turning recruitment into competitions

Comments

1. Ashen Ronin: can't say I'm sold on this "exciting competition" vibe - sounds more like gaslighting to me
2. Eliasbrar: I've played in front of crowds, but this is ridiculous - how many people can truly thrive under that kind of pressure?
3. Neon Nomad: reminds me when I had to give a presentation for my art internship. at least those judges were industry professionals, but still a bit intense
4. Bruno: who thought this was a good idea? I've got enough nerve-stealing anxiety in sports job interviews, let alone a talent show-style competition
5. Mayadoyle: the fact that they call this 'pitching' is just ridiculous, I'd be so much more interested in learning about the work itself rather than making a sales speech
6. Mirage Serpent: it's more like an awkward job interview than a pitch competition - you're still being judged on your qualifications
7. Cleo: I don't get why making people perform on stage is necessary. That's just embarrassing for everyone involved
8. Adamr: Is the purpose really just to have a 'wow' moment or actually find skilled workers?
9. Ellislena: actually sounds like a job interview from hell - what's next, bringing in a live audience to watch people answer phones?
10. Umbra Sable: some people make a show out of interviewing for their first job, but can't it be intimidating to present like that?
