Job search is always a difficult process. From the very beginning, a person looking for a job is under the pressure of his own aspirations and expectations.

Angular developer Ivan Stashko talked about the group interview, to which he was brought together with other candidates by a recruiter. According to him, the experience turned out to be strange, but Ivan even found positive moments for himself in such an interview. Other IT professionals are not so positive and express different opinions about group interviews: as a waste of time, the tip of the iceberg of a company that has no respect for people, or employers looking for consumables. We at dev.ua decided to ask recruiters whether they use group interviews in their practice, in which case it is possible and whether this approach to interviews is effective.
