Urban legends circulate about how recruiters use dating apps to find candidates. It turns out that dating recruiters actually takes place and for the benefit of both candidates and companies. O4 Coworking in Gda\u0144sk has been organizing speed recruitment dates for 3 years now. The effects are surprising.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O4 Coworking residents are small and medium-sized companies for which time and effectiveness of reaching candidates are important. We have heard from many of them that it is difficult for them to recruit people for junior positions. That’s why we created a format we called Recruitment Speed Dating. In May, we organized the 7th edition of the project, which after a month from its end gives participants satisfaction from working in the companies they met at this event<\/i> \u2013 says Martyna Czarnobaj-Borowska, creator and manager of this format.<\/p>\n

What is speed dating recruiting?<\/strong> O4 Coworking invites specific Pomeranian universities to cooperate and recruits participants from among their students. At the same time, it includes companies that are looking for people for junior positions in the project. So far, 500 students and 100 employers have participated in the project. When applying for the project, students must justify why they want to take part in it, and the project itself is divided into several stages, which allow young adepts to prepare for interviews, and companies to recognize the best candidates for work. The first stage consists of workshops on competences that are useful at the stage of looking for a job and developing a career, as well as initial interviews aimed at checking the fit of candidates to the needs of companies. The magic happens at the next stage. Each participant meets with people representing the companies involved in the project. These conversations last 6 minutes and take place on a similar basis to “speed dating.”<\/p>\n
