A New Creative Recruiting Initiative by Could Be Love

Some time ago i applied for a promotion work through a promotion agency called "Could be Love". I wasn't told much at the start, just that we were going to promote something for some multi national company with a very good salary and that we were 150 going to this first interview (25 will be chosen in the end). Later on i was surprised to know that the client is a huge renowned International company, which name i can't say for legal issues and that the best promoter in the end will get an INTERNSHIP with them, how great is that? my new goal is set!

However, want to tell you about is the day that they prepared for us. Its a whole new creative recruiting initiative that i never saw before in an interview and that i will be completely honest by saying this.. If i don't pass to the second round i wont be mad, disappointed maybe, since i really want that internship but ill never forget that day. The organization was absolutely fantastic, the whole team from Could be Love and the Client were extremely helpful and in complete sync. 


The day started off with some great activities like inverted jump (opposite of bungee jump), riding a speed boat, an extreme epic helicopter flight and some tai chi lessons to relax at the end. After all of those new experiences we had the most amazing lunch prepared for us with more than 5 different main courses and desserts, quite the work there invested for us.

Then while each one waited for its turn to be interviewed, we could pass the time playing one of the six consoles that they had there, maybe playing some pool, ping pong or even just sit in some sofas listening to some music by the dj while preparing for that moment when we would be called by the number we got at the beginning, just like cattle. Just kidding ;p

Finally i was called and it went really smooth and good, i sang some songs from "The Lion King" to amuse everyone and answered some more serious questions. I was really happy with the outcome of it and now I'm anxiously waiting for the results to know if I'm on the next step.

To conclude, congratulations and thank you very much for everything. I think the objective of this huge effort from them was accomplished since in my case after this day i told everyone i know about it and i can say for sure that everyone did the same. Giving so the "Client" and Could be Love the so deserved recognition for it.

I sincerely hope to see you all soon.
