Group Behavioral
The first part of the selection process was a group dynamic. In the first part, evaluators gave us paper and colored pens to make a name tag. Then we had to go to the front of the room to introduce ourselves and talk about what we put on our 'name tag' and why. In the second part, candidates were divided into groups of 5 people. The challenge was to come up with ideas for a commercial building with 10x10m for 10 workers, including accessibility. IMPORTANT: The ideas for the building don't matter much in this case; what the recruiters really want to evaluate is how you behave when you have to work in a group. It doesn't matter how good your idea was, they will always point out flaws to see how you react to negative feedback. The second part was an interview with the company manager.
