The participants are provided with a topic for GD and the main idea is to allow them to exchange ideas and opinions. Each participant hails from a different background and will try to enforce his opinion over the others. Today GDs have grown into the most powerful and effective tools for recruitment personnel to screen candidates. These help them to judge the candidates’ potential and communication skills.
