Black sheep ...

Of course there is positive examples. I'm thinking of Kristo Käärmann, co-founder of TransferWise, that of von Facebook-Investor Peter Thiel and Virgin-Founders Richard Branson financed StartUp:

Whose Idea I thought it was very nice during the interview: “We ask, for example, what the applicants can do that we can't do ourselves – such as playing the piano or a certain language. And then we ask if he or she can teach us that,” he told me Käärmann in the Intverview.

Why recruiters tremble in front of glassdoor

But the black sheep must tremble. No wonder an outcry by the German Recruitingscene when Galssdoor came to Germany a few months ago.

Because the 2008 US-based company has more than 27 million members worldwide, it brings together free and anonymous reviews, star ratings and payroll job information.

The company, which is financed by Google Capital, Tiger Global, Benchmark, Battery Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures, DAG Ventures and Dragoneer Investment Group, among others, does what the name already suggests: It leaks the recruiting practices of the companies and does it clear, what is really going on behind the doors that some managers would like to keep closed.

Same with the topic Job Interview. Glasdoor has now taken the trouble to evaluate over a thousand interview questions that German applicants have posted on the job and career community in the past 12 months.

The Top 10 of the nastiest questions

The result is this admittedly very creative top 10 list of nastiest questions in the interview - which shows that the questions do not necessarily have anything to do with the job.

  1. “Explain how to cook eggs perfectly.” - Placed at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft for an applicant as a research assistant (Sankt Augustin).
  2. "If you were an animal, what animal would you be?" - Submitted to an applicant for an internship (Munich) by Estée Lauder.
  3. “How would you go about measuring the height of a building with a barometer?” - Placed at Unicredit Management Consulting to an applicant as a business analyst (Munich).
  4. "Which 30 companies are in the DAX?" - Placed at Roland Berger to an applicant as a consultant (no location).
  5. "What is your favorite event in history?" - Submitted to eFront Financial Solutions to an applicant as a business analyst (Frankfurt am Main).
  6. "What is your personal secret?" - Made by Apple to an applicant as Genius (Hamburg).
  7. "How do you call all prime numbers up to n as quickly as possible?" - Provided to Zalando to an applicant as a software developer (Berlin).
  8. “Please try to estimate the annual consumption of Clearasil in Germany!” - Submitted to Reckitt Benckiser for an applicant for a brand management internship (Mannheim).
  9. "Name 7 things you can do with this pen." - Provided to the HitFox Group to an applicant as head of customer care (Berlin).
  10. “Imagine a machine that can produce all the milk that Starbucks needs around the world on an average day. All you have to do is go through the right number of cows on this machine. How many Starbucks stores are there worldwide? How many cows would I need? How fast should they go through? ” - Placed at Bain Company to an applicant for an internship in consulting (Munich).
