Thursday’s Thought: Speed Interviewing

Last night after our networking event, someone came up to me and mentioned a clever idea. I wanted to run this by all my readers and see what kind a response/participation this would ignite.

He thought that my networking group could further be enhanced by offering a Speed Interviewing Event. This would be similar to speed dating but a recruiter would speed interview job seekers for 2-3 minutes. Then everyone would rotate one position.

After all, that is all the time it takes someone to know if they are going to move forward with you in the process. That 1-hour interview that you always have could easily be cut off at the 5-10 minute mark, because the Hiring Manager has already made their decision.

So, if I could line up 15-20 recruiters and/or Hiring Managers from companies in the Chicagoland area to participate in Speed Interviewing, would this be a benefit to job seekers? Let me know via a reply to this post or to my E-mail at kevin@corporatetransitionservices.com
