Media skills testing - a revealing way of selecting senior managers
Appointing a senior manager? The shortlisted candidates may look good on paper, but have they got the bottle to deal with the media?
An organisation’s reputation can easily be damaged by negative media coverage and the situation made worse by an inadequate response. It is vital to appoint senior managers who know what to do when the media turn hostile.
Deep South Media has launched a new service to help appointments boards by testing shortlisted candidates in their media handling skills.
On selection day our journalists create realistic scenarios and conduct challenging video interviews. When we play back the recordings an appointments board can immediately see how they would perform if things went wrong.
