      Easy interview

      Application

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hays (Bristol, England) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      First stage was a telephone discussion, second stage a 121 interview and 3rd stage a group assessment. The 3rd stage was where there are role play scenarios, Hays presentation from assessor, tour of office, write a job description and review 3 cvs and role play selling the candidates cv to a "client." It was great to do the assessment to really get to know the day to day life of a recruiter at Hays. It was also great to see that there is so much careers progression at Hays with everyone working there way up to Business Manager or higher.

      Question 1

      Why recruitment? Tell me about yourself?
      1 Answer

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hays

      Interview

      Lengthy 3 hour assessment day. Follow up one to one interviews. One to one interview includes an interview waxing lyrical about how great her life is. No questions asked other than walk me through your CV. No, follow up. Crap interview process for someone to make a snap decision based on sweet nothings.
