Here’s a fun trivia question: which former Execu|Search employee is currently hosting a successful, all-encompassing trivia game show? If you guessed Alex Trebek, you’re very, very wrong.
Believe it or not, it’s actually Scott Rogowsky of “HQ Trivia” fame. Once a Copywriter for Execu|Search’s Marketing Department, Rogoswky has made a name for himself hosting the app-based trivia show that has taken the world by storm (or at least for 20 minutes at 3pm and 9pm). In the spirit of the trivia phenomena, we’ve decided to put your brains to the test with 12 questions focused on the workforce as a whole. So sit up straight, rack your brain, and answer away. Good luck!
