Steve played for Edinburgh Rugby from 2007 to 2013, and upon retiring became General Manager of Everything4Rugby, which aims to provide and gather support for grassroots and club rugby throughout the UK and Ireland. Having been a passionate supporter and participant in rugby all his life, he truly believes in the transformational power of the sport, and in particular the values that are celebrated in rugby – the exact same beliefs held by Wooden Spoon, the charity that he supports by taking part in the expedition. Over the course of Steve’s preparation and expedition, we will be following his progress and highlighting this great cause, with his first blog post kicking us off here. </description> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2014 11:09:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator /> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.edenscott.com/node/6265</guid> </item> <item> <title>What Are Assessment Centres?</title> <link>http://www.edenscott.com/node/197</link> <description>A recent survey by the CIPD showed that 40% of employers utilised the assessment centre method, particularly at management level. The Assessment Centre offers a structured and objective approach to recruitment. The pass / fail criteria gives a real focus on what the individuals can bring to the role and it is specifically designed to meet the needs of the organisation - short and long term. It consists of a broad range of selection methods that reflect the skills, personality and values that the successful individual needs to possess. The assessment centre helps the organisation to identify strengths and potential development areas in relation to the role. The range of exercises used allows individuals to demonstrate key competencies throughout the day whilst enabling the qualified assessors to objectively gather the evidence required from several sources rather than purely from one interview. </description> <pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michelle Lownie</dc:creator> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.edenscott.com/node/197</guid> </item> <item> <title>Competency Based Interviewing</title> <link>http://www.edenscott.com/node/196</link> <description>Competency Based Interviewing is a means of interviewing based on the premise that past performance is an excellent indicator of future performance.
