Eversheds recruitment effort: just cry

                           

Cringeworthy though Allen & Overy's grad rec video may be, at least it's in English. Eversheds has raised the game for its trainee recruitment by inventing its own language. Just as a small child with social interaction issues might do.

 

Here is a list of the personality types that Eversheds apparently looks for in its trainees:

• Innovateer: the innovative volunteer, who has "good reason to appear effervescent".
• Knowlivator: the knowledgeable motivator - "they don't just have big brains; they have big personalities too".
• Logithiser: the logical empathiser, who "readily sheds their tough exterior".
• Performibutor: the performing contributor, who "roll up their sleeves". 
• Proactiloper: the proactive developer. Or a medieval practitioner of intimate surgery.
• Professionary: the professional visionary. "Accuracy and punctuation are their watchwords". 
• Prioricator: the prioritising communicator. "To listen to them is to understand and be convinced."
• Winnowmat: the winning diplomat - "their powerful will to win finds expression in gentle diplomacy".

Good grief. Some advertisiwanker got paid good money to come up with this guff.
