Thanks for looking into doing our recruiter assessment! This one is unique among our assessments, as you're guaranteed HK$4,000 if you complete it successfully.

1. Read the T&Cs to our loyalty program, then notify us on Intercom that you'd like to start.

2. Before you start, we would send over some reading materials including our guide for freelance recruiters.

3. To succeed in this challenge, you must produce 1 successful referral (as defined in our loyalty program). You may do so in any way you deem fit.

   • A pessimistic estimate indicates only 25% of candidates who say they'll do the assessment actually do it. Thus, you'll need to get ~4 candidates to say yes to produce 1 referral.
   • Please keep a diary on how you strategically approached this task and also time used and how you went about this task. We are just as interested in your thinking and action process as your results.
   • Every time you talk with a candidate, please ask for permission to record the video/audio. Please submit these recordings with your diary.

4. [Intermediate-only] Please prepare a virtual training module targetted towards a junior recruiter.

   • We suggest the topic "How to Convince a Candidate to Complete the T1 Technical Challenge." Alternatively, we are also happy if you pick a training topic based on the part of recruiting you think you're best at.
   • Your trainees might have different learning styles. The major ones you should cover are listening (e.g. video), reading (e.g. books/article), and doing (e.g. exercise/homework).
   • As deliverables, we recommend recording a video and including a transcript and exercise, but you may use your discretion. For example, if you submit a video, blog post, and exercise, it'll most likely be acceptible.

5. Lastly, fill out https://t1.gl/compliance.

   • You must submit proof of your success in the past. Take the 3 months where you had the highest attributed revenues and submit appropriate documentation. If you've never been an agency recruiter, submit proof of your highest 3 months of production and associated salary slips.
   • You must submit all your other details to get paid.

We will grade your assessment on the following criteria:

• 40% - Successfully referring a qualified candidate
• 20% - Quality of the candidate experience
• 30% - Quality of your training module
• 10% - Your communication skills throughout

Footnote: If you take a job with us and your referral gets placed, we'll count that to your credit.
