Arla: Fast Track Selection
"For an industrial group such as Arla, PI® means a common language … the HR function can reach greater clarity and effectiveness … To me, PI is primarily a fast track to the essentials in the recruiting process. The PI principle never to give feedback in written form diminishes the risk of misuse ... I appreciate the ethics of oral feedback".

And the system has proven as accurate and valuable in USA, Europe, Asia, Africa or Latin America.

Harrogate, UK – July 2011. PI Europe sponsors local school’s short Film Festival.

PI Europe was one of several local businesses invited to sponsor the Harrogate School’s Film festival. In agreeing to sponsor the event, we donated several prizes including hand held video cameras which will be put to good use by the competition winners.

PI Europe employee Andrew Griffiths was invited as a guest judge and helped pick the winning entry, which was a film trailer produced by a team representing Harrogate High School. Other local schools that entered teams that reached the finals were St John Fisher’s School and St. Aidan’s school, both from Harrogate.

PI Europe is committed to supporting local education – this event follows on from our presence at St. Aidan’s school, which recently hosted a modern languages fair for prospective students. With its Head offices based in Harrogate, UK but with consultants based in all major European countries, PI Europe sent several of its multilingual employees to talk to students about the importance of modern languages in business. Our participation was greatly appreciated and the young students were able to learn more about the opportunities that speaking a foreign language can bring.
