The COVID Diaries – 16 3rd April
A strange day, interviewing four candidates for a director appointment by video conference. Although it worked well, there is something missing when you don’t have the candidates sitting in front of you.
The subtlety of body language is lost and there is the possibility that a candidate is presenting a false “picture” that is more difficult to detect when they are not in the same room as the interview panel.
And what about when the successful candidate starts in post? If the lock-down continues, then it will be sometime before they actual meet the rest of the team. We live in strange times!
