I've never done a group interview, so I'm speculating, but the concept sounds nice, so long as there is also sufficient 1-on-1 time. > I would hate preparing for a normal interviewing experience and be thrown into something completely nonstandard like this. Would it a problem if you told candidates they're doing group interviews? Might be a flaw in this particular variant, not the concept itself. > Why would they be swapping tips and numbers if they're in competition with each other? From the top level comment: "You [...] explain that they are not in competition with each other because you're hoping to make multiple hires."
