The pub is part of our interview process. Before taking anyone on we take them to lunch and they meet everyone in the office they will work with. It's an opportunity to meet people and see how well they get on. When we get back we have a discussion about the candidate and whether or not we should hire them, if they don't fit in, no hire. I appreciate it's an unfair test and that only the dumbest candidates wouldn't realise that this is part of the interview process but being outside of the office, having an opportunity to talk with the people that you'll work with gives the candidate as much of a view of whether or not they want to work with us as the other way around.
