Companies are sometimes obliged to show originality in recruiting. This is the case of this company from Le Havre (Seine-Maritime), which organized a rugby match to choose from personal qualities before professional qualities.
Play rugby to get a job. This is the life-size test passed by 20 candidates, some of whom have never touched a ball. This match rewards a three-month training, with a view to a permanent contract in thermal insulation. A new way of recruiting for candidates who come without CV and stress. “It’s good to have big CVs, but that’s not what makes the experience. It’s not because you don’t have a diploma that you are nothing”says this candidate.
Companies adapt to candidates
Recruiters are on the ground. Some are even there incognito, to assess their motivations, and their skills for working in a team, such as how to listen to instructions, get involved, be precise. As a result, permanent positions on industrial sites. Due to the lack of candidates in the sector, the company had to adapt to attract new people. At the end of the match, an afternoon of workshop and interview made it possible to select 10 candidates out of the 20 present.
