Hi there! I still run interviews. I'm a Managing Director in an Independent and Global Consultancy firm in Singapore and I sit on the hiring side several times a month, so the feedback you get from me is what I would actually write on a scorecard. I work nowadays mostly with people targeting Asia offices, and with candidates who are casing in a second language. However, I sat for 10 years in Europe hence, I can cover both market from a culture & process standpoint.
