      Senior Consultant Interview

      21 Jun 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Southampton, England
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Hays (Southampton, England) in Aug 2011

      Interview

      very big on their hays core values and is very important to revise these, like people to have good knowledge of company background in terms of specialisms and countries operating etc. They like people who are not afraid to use the phone so come across in that manner, very big on sales and business development. Interview process starts with phone interview must come across eager and motivated and well prepared. Then a formal interview, then a stage where you will be asked to sell a product to them which they will select on the spot, you will then be presented with a CV told to revise it for 20 mins then sell it to them, key is to always push for an interview at the end. You then may or may not be asked into the office and get to do a business development sales call. After that they may offer or you may require to then meet your potentially selected line manager.
