3. One to One Exercise

The recruiter will ask each of the candidates a random question.

Examples:

“If you had a sport-related job what would it be?”.

4. Company Presentation

5. Group discussion

You will be divided into groups with 6 – 8 candidates, depending on the total number of candidates. The group may be smaller or larger.

Each group gets a task. The task of the group is to find a solution to the problem and present it to recruiters.

You have 20 minutes to complete the task.
