    Mike is the best interviewer by far. He users evidence to back his arguments instead of just mindless roasting insults

      Just because he puts stuff on the table? Sounds like I could lure you off a cliff with car keys. Claude looks primarily at the financials, in an interview with Yasmina in 2009, he pulled out her business accounts, showed her up for not knowing how much profit she actually made. Jordan in 2013 was caught out for not being a shareholder in the business he said he owned. He was caught out for fraud. He got an interrogation, not an interview. And when he isn't looking at financials, he's reading between the lines on their CV and calling them out for the puffery they come up with. Stuart Baggs called himself a brand. If someone is a brand, you don't go work for someone else. He praised Solomon's CV then proceeded to call his business plan a disgrace. He was annoyed that someone gave him such hope, only to be let down by the business plan. That's because he had 2 pages with pictures. He came at Claude with a PNG and then almost walked out the window. With Stephanie, he was blunt and to the point, but he was right in what he said. Then showed that she came off as reckless with money.
      Linda Plant seems to be Mikes replacement in the area of testing the product or services they produce. That's just seeing how they respond when their claims don't match reality. If someone claims 4-5 days in delivery for example, their response should be I'll look into that and might have to consider either correcting that in the future or switching courier. Not look like they've been caught in a bold face lie.
      Then there is the actual goal of the interviews. Taking the final 5 arrogant candidates and giving them a dressing down. Because if they're going to work for or work with Alan Sugar, they're going to have to deal with people like this on a regular basis, and they're going to need to show that they can take it and fire back with facts. So if they can't handle being roasted, they don't deserve to be there.

    I don't know how anyone can argue that Mike isn't the best interviewer he doesn't go for cheap insults, he presents questions in the form of creative scenarios and problems to make candidates think on their feet or get rightfully caught out and it's fresh each time. The other interviewers just do the usual grilling on numbers and credibility of the business plan which is repetitive.

    • @liltone9614

    At this point, I've seen too many varieties of Pick'n'mix businesses in my lifetime that there doesn't seem to be any point in making anymore of them 😂 it's hard to make something look unique with prepackaged sweets when there's already so many businesses that pack them up themselves. At most, variety boxes of handmade treats instead of ready made stuff could be a more unique approach and something worth investing in if it's well thought out.
