intervjusituasjoner

Intervjusituasjoner is a phenomenon observed during job interviews, particularly common in Scandinavian countries. It refers to situations where multiple candidates are interviewed at the same time, with each candidate asked to respond to the same set of questions or challenges.

This practice is often employed by Norwegian and Swedish companies to assess the social skills and behavior of job applicants in a more dynamic environment. Unlike traditional one-on-one interviews, intervjusituasjoner simulate a real-world work setting, where candidates must interact and collaborate with each other.

The goal of intervjusituasjoner is to evaluate how well applicants work under pressure, think on their feet, and respond to unexpected situations. It requires them to demonstrate their ability to collaborate, negotiate, and communicate effectively in a group setting.

Interviews of this type typically involve a panel of interviewers, who observe and take notes on the candidates' interactions and responses. The panel may also include role players or other individuals who will engage with the candidates during the exercise.

Intervjusituasjoner are often used as part of a multi-step interview process, where candidates are first evaluated on their individual skills and experience, and then assessed on their group dynamics and interpersonal skills. This approach allows companies to gain a more comprehensive understanding of potential employees and determine their suitability for team-based roles.

By incorporating intervjusituasjoner into their hiring process, companies and recruiters can gain invaluable insights into a candidate's behavior, teamwork, and communication skills in a realistic and dynamic work environment.
