8 Things to
Remember at Group Interviews
ISL Recruitment have experience of many interview set ups. We can work with clients to organise group interviews and
help candidates prepare. Here are some tips of things to remember at group interviews….
At ISL Recruitment we have
experience of many interview set ups.
For those organisations with many
candidates group interviews are
frequently used. If you are a shy,
conservative person then this style of
interview may be particularly
daunting. ISL Recruitment can work
with clients to organise group
interviews and help candidates
prepare.
Here are some tips from Sophie
Down of things to remember at group
interviews.
Body Language
• Watch your body language. However relaxed the conversation feels
remember you are being watched. You will stand out if you are the only one
in the group who is slumped back in the chair.
Be Punctual
• It sounds so obvious, but you would be amazed how many applicants arrive
late. If you are going to be late you must phone ahead and explain why. If
you turn up late, it will be noticed.
Include Everyone
• It’s a group interview not a battle. Greet the other applicants, engage and look to
work as a team. They are competition, but don’t corner yourself into a position where
you cannot show your skills to the interviewer.
Prepare
• It’s unlikely you will know in advance what activities or tasks you are going to be
asked to carry out. All you can do is spend time researching the company and role so
that you are confident on the day. Normally there is a short one to one interview at
the end so make sure you have some good questions ready prepared.
Be Yourself
• However much you like
the job if you don’t fit the
company culture, the job
is not going to be a good
fit. Be enthusiastic and
polite, but don’t try to act
in a completely different
way to normal.
Get Noticed
• It’s polite to let people have their turn, but make sure you make a significant
contribution. Make sure you are getting noticed for the right reasons, but also avoid
saying nothing at all.
Listen
• Listen carefully to any group instructions so you are the person that delivers on the
task and also shows the interviewer how well you can perform under pressure.
Follow Up
• At the end of the session make a point of thanking and saying goodbye to all the
interviewers and fellow interviewees. It’s never over the top to follow up a group
interview with a thank you letter.
Follow Up
• A group interview takes many forms. It could just be a panel interview or it could be
executing a range of tasks with a large team of people. Normally in a group interview
an interviewer is looking for a great communicator and looking to understand how you
fit into working within a team – do you naturally take the lead, are you the person who
comes up with all the great ideas or are you a person who quietly gets on with the task.
Follow Up
• If you would like to learn more about how ISL Recruitment work with companies to
set up group interviews or you are about to attend your first group interview
please contact us.
