There will be a systematic approach for selecting candidates by way of competency-based interviews. We also guarantee that when you
apply for membership at Troglobites International, you can be sure that your application will be
treated confidentially and impartially.
What to expect at each stage of the recruitment process
Stage one: Opportunity and application
Once you have submitted your character reference and 500 word personal biography letter online, we
will acknowledge receipt of your application by email and advise you as
to the outcome of your application.
Stage two: Initial telephone interview
If your profile matches what we are looking for, a member of
our recruitment team will contact you. If necessary, an initial
telephone interview will be arranged to enable us to find out more about
you.
Stage three: First-round interviews
If we consider that you are a potential candidate for membership, you will be invited to attend face-to-face interviews.
You will be interviewed by a panel consisting of randomly selectet members. The aim of this interview is to
understand your golf career interests, your educational background, skills,
competencies and experience, and what motivates you to succeed at WGT.
During those interviews, you will be asked specific questions
about those competencies (both technical and behavioural) which are
linked to the core application requirements. We will also ask you to give
concrete examples of specific shot situations which you have encountered, how
you dealt with them and the final outcomes of those shots.
These interviews will focus solely on your playing
capabilities. We want to hear about your previous experiences,
challenges and accomplishments. This will also be a chance for you to
ask questions and to find out if this is the right club for you.
Stage four: Assessments
We may invite you to participate in a short psychometric
assessment which allows us to better understand your motivation and how
you behave around groups of people.
In some cases, we may further invite you to attend an
assessment day during which you will complete various aptitude tests.
These assessments test a variety of capabilities including putting equations, calculating lie effects, shot selection and club selection.
While no decision is made solely on the basis of these
tests, they form part of the overall process and provide us
with another source of objective information with which to assess
candidates.
Second-round interviews:
Should you complete the first round successfully, you will be
invited to participate in a second round of interviews. At this stage, you will be asked to give a 15 minute presentation on why you think Troglobites International is for you.
Reference check
You will be asked for details of your past clubs. We will
ask your referees to answer questions about your previous tenureship, your people skills and behaviour wile playing.
Selection decision
Our selection panel will post their report on our forums and the community as a whole will vote.
Once you have been selected you will be sent you a comprehensive list of members and will
be provided with download links and private chat room addresses.
Induction
You will participate in the structured Troglobites induction programme,
which aims to help all new members settle into their new club in a way
that sets them up for success and allows them to become active
members of Troglobites International as quickly as possible.
