Recruitment Round-up 14/9/07

This week’s look at the sillier things we have come across features three frankly bizarre entries, showing the rather odd nature of some the people in this industry. First up is the tale we heard from a client of ours of a candidate they arranged an interview for who asked if he could dash off early as he had to get back to work – after spending the interview, without a tie, munching tic-tacs.

Then there was the candidate who cancelled an interview as their sister’s house had suffered a terrible fire (obviously a terrible tragedy). However, the person in question couldn’t quite seem to agree with themselves as to which day this awful event had happened – changing the story several times.

Topping the bill this week though is the manager we know who once, many years ago, witnessed one of his consultants being chased around the office by a Hell’s Angel brandishing a plank of wood, trying to get hold of his pay packet!
