The most bizarre interview experience I’ve ever had… Before I got into recruitment, I was a head chef. So, naturally, I needed to hire a Chef de Partie (similar supervisory level to a senior residential support worker, always experienced, usually with a Level 3 qualification). In hospitality, it’s common to do a short interview followed by a trial shift—about an hour tops. So, for this candidate, I invited him in for 8am & I decided to throw him into the deep end: the egg station during a busy breakfast service. All he had to do was keep up with poached, scrambled, and fried eggs. Simple enough, right? Well, we’re barely 20 minutes in and maybe 10-15 eggs down when he starts saying, “I’m tired... Are you not tired? This is really tiring.” I’m thinking, “Mate, we’re just getting started!” I professionally reminded him he could leave if it wasn’t the right fit, but he insisted on staying. Yet, the moaning about exhaustion just kept coming. Anyway, he finished the "shift" (barely) and I shook his hand, telling him I’d be in touch. Fast forward 2.5 hours... A customer is complaining about a strange noise coming from the toilets. The restaurant manager goes to see what was going on, calling out to the person inside—nothing. We ended up having to unlock the door. And there he was: the candidate, fast asleep on the toilet, in full chef whites, clutching his knife wrap like a comfort blanket. Did he start the next day? Absolutely... NOT! It was wild. But life would be boring without these experiences aye? Character building!

I work in IT, although I have had some experience in hospitality as both a bartender and a cook. What impressed me about this article is the amount of real-time exposure they use to judge whether an applicant is both capable and socially mature enough to join their team. How many people who join IT organizations face this kind of rigorous screening? And would it be worth trying this as an approach to IT placement? On the other hand, maybe some IT organizations already employ these kinds of tactics and screening. Let us know in the comments.

Before becoming a recruiter, I spent years working in the hospitality industry, where I learned invaluable lessons in customer service, relationship building, and making people feel valued. Whether bartending, serving, or managing restaurants, my main principle was always to MAKE EVERYONE FEEL AT HOME. 🌟 Just like in hospitality, recruiting is about making clients and candidates feel welcome, heard, and understood. When people feel cared for—like they’re more than just a number—they’re more likely to trust you, come back, and recommend you to others. Building genuine relationships with a personal touch is key. In recruiting, as in hospitality, it’s simple: create a warm, positive experience, and people will keep coming back. 😉 #Recruiting #RelationshipBuilding #HospitalitySkills #CustomerService #PeopleFirst Following: Sharmaine Wilson Following: Tiello #ConstructionRecruiting #LowVoltageRecruiting #RecruitingLessons #RelationshipBuilding
