​What is "Blindfolded Interviews" (Live on Stage)?

​A live, interactive segment where recruiters interview volunteer candidates without seeing them.
This creates a unique learning moment where candidates can see:

​• How recruiters evaluate answers
• What strong vs weak responses look like
• How to communicate clearly under pressure
• What actually makes candidates stand out
