Last but not least: Swiss company casts engineers in Vietnam
Why should auditions be reserved for actors, singers and dancers? The agency at the airport probably thought so and invited Vietnamese engineers to a spontaneous casting rather than an assessment center.
Castings are more popular than ever these days. If a role for an actor, a place in a band for a singer or a position as a dancer is up for grabs, this is a particularly quick and easy way to separate the wheat from the chaff. So why shouldn't this selection procedure be transferable to other professions? This is probably what the agency at the airport thought when it was looking for a method to find the smartest development engineers in Vietnam for the software and product development company Antrova. Without further ado, the tried and tested assessment center was swapped for a casting at the elite technical university Hochiminhcitys. Among other things, the agency produced flyers and displays with Albert Einstein on them for the spectacle. Unfortunately, the "Spontaneous Engineer Casting Promotion" could not be followed on television. However, some impressions from Vietnam were captured photographically.
