Take up Calibre Search’s Wimbledon’t Challenge next week!

Calling all recruiters... You could be game, set and match away from winning a £100 Wimbledon-themed hamper – just for doing your best Andy Murray impression.

With Wimbledon starting on Monday, recruiters are being invited to take part in multi-sector recruiter Calibre Search’s Wimbledon’t Challenge.

After an eagle-eyed member of the Recruiter team spotted a tweet about the invitation, Recruiter got in touch with Calibre Search for more details about the challenge.

According to Calibre marketing assistant Charlotte Wilson, the competition involves three five-minute mini challenges, with participants given a total of 15 minutes to complete the whole challenge.

On Twitter, using the hashtag #TheClipboardRally, competitors are invited to tweet a video of their attempts at the first challenge, which sees players pass a ball between one another and into a bin using clipboards as their bats in the quickest time.

The second challenge, which invites participants to tweet pictures of their efforts using the hashtag #WearYourWhites, sees competitors produce a tennis outfit using just paper, scissors and sticky tape.

Finally, the third challenge sees challengers tweet a recording of their best Andy Murray impression to #MyMurrayMoment.

A £100 Wimbledon-themed hamper containing champagne, Pimms, truffles, clotted cream, fudge, jam and chocolates is up for grabs for the winners.

The competition starts this coming Monday – the first day of the Wimbledon tournament – with the winner announced on the second Monday of the Wimbledon fortnight. The winner will be decided by the most likes of tweets on Twitter.

According to Wilson, the firm’s objective is get as much activity going on its own Twitter page and other competing companies’ pages. The competition is open to Calibre’s client base and any other recruitment agencies – so get Wimbledon’ting!

Oh, and don’t forget to include @Recruitermag in your tweets, so we can keep a Hawkeye on your ‘match’ progress throughout the week. We’d lob to see how smashing you’re all looking… [Edthat’s enough tennis puns]
