Split-fee recruitment exchange Talent Revolt is challenging recruiters to show they know their sector by asking them to take an A Level exam relating to their sector.

Split-fee recruitment exchange Talent Revolt is challenging recruiters to show they know their sector by asking them to take an A Level exam relating to their sector.

Founder Greig Harper says: “This week there are thousands of A Level students finishing their exams. But how many specialist recruiters can show they know more about their chosen field than an A Level student?”

Don’t worry, it’s all just for fun with the exams consisting of a few questions which should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Subjects include IT, accounting and business studies for sales recruiters.

The recruiter who comes top of the class will win a box of retro sweets featuring Kola Kubes, Gobstoppers and Refreshers bars.

Recruiters interested in taking part can register on the site before midday Friday at www.talentrevolt.com.
