S2 Ep2: The Interview
As recruiters, we know every stage of the job seeking process inside and out. The interview is probably the most nerve wracking part of the process, and it's our job to ensure the candidate is prepped, organised and confident beforehand.
In this episode we talk about the importance of strong preparation and detailed feedback with special guests Anthony Towse, Aimee Brown, and Ruth-Beth Jackson.
But of course, it wouldn't be The Insight Job without also some tongue in cheek anecdotes; from filling in for no-show baby sitters, to awkward conversations about personal hygiene... we discuss some of our most colourful interview experiences.

It’s so important that as an industry, we change the way we work so it was a genuine pleasure to hear Jo’s journey and how we can affect change.
