Telefnica O2 UK's Ian Ruddy joins BeMyInterviewer.co.uk

Ian Ruddy, Head of HR Operations at Telefnica O2 UK has joined www.bemyinterviewer.co.uk - Jobsite's interactive video-based website which enables jobseekers to practise for interviews. He joins leading bosses including Duncan Bannatyne, Ruth Badger and Jacqueline Gold in asking candidates key interview questions on topics including money, experience, personality and selling yourself.

Launched in February 2008 BeMyInterviewer offers a completely new way to prepare for interviews. In the first six months that it's been live, BeMyInterviewer has attracted over 156,000 unique visitors to the site, with over 1.4 million videos streamed. BeMyInterviewer has also increased applications to Jobsite's clients' vacancies, with over 21,900 candidates coming through to view vacancies on Jobsite following their interaction with the interviewers on BeMyInterviewer.

BeMyInterviewer is updated regularly with new interviewers and is a helpful preparation tool for recruiters who are sending candidates to interviews. Equally, HR Directors and those responsible for interviewing will find BeMyInterviewer a useful resource in learning how their peers conduct interviews and get the most out of candidates.

As the latest new addition to BeMyInterviewer, Ian Ruddy's interview style offers a fascinating insight into recruitment in large organisations. Ian and his team are responsible for the direct recruitment of many hundreds of talented people into a wide variety of roles ranging from finance, technology and marketing to customer service contact centres, events management and retail.

Commenting on his interviewing experience, Ian Ruddy says; At Telefnica O2 our values of bold, open, trusted and clear are very important to us and they are firmly embedded within our culture and reflect how we do things. We believe that in order to turn our customers into fans our people must be fans first.

We look for people who are customer focused, can work within a team and are bold in their thinking and aspirations. I am delighted to participate in a process that supports jobseekers in finding a career that is right for them.'
