Virgin is a diverse organisation so there are no set personality profiles for being a Virgin person. However, Virgin is a fast-moving environment so we do tend to recruit people who like to be given responsibility, who like to be given scope to try new ideas, and who can cope with being thrown in at the deep end.
Each area of Virgin has some broad principles:-
-
We know what kind of people we want and we work hard to recruit the best
-
We train them properly
-
We allow them freedom to be themselves
-
We trust them to make the right decisions, and the odd mistake is tolerated
-
We believe in karma – we're loyal to them and they're loyal to us
So who's a Virgin Person?
"Virgin people are easy to spot. They act in unusual ways as it's the only way they know how. But it's not forced – it's natural. They are honest, cheeky, questioning, amusing, disruptive, intelligent and restless… Virgin people are smart"
