Very very easy interview! Had one with a recruiter and a sales manager. Easy situational questions. Asked why I’m interested in recruiting, career goals, where I see myself in 5 years, etc.
Application

Interview
Pretty simple. it was a phone chat with the corporate recruiter. A phone interview with the recruiting manager and then an in person interview where you met a few members of the team.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hays (Portugal) in Jul 2023
Interview
3 interviews with different people; they had 2 positions available at the time so they saw me as somewhat fit for both : |
Turns out they were just "practicing interviews". The nerve of asking for references after so many stages and knowing they had already made their mind, Sorry but I got a bad sense of the company; they're working resources, not humans.
Thorough explanation thru the call, quite fast reactions. A lot of corporates language and processes too. The company has clear vision or expectation of the candidate and responsibilities so they are less flexible in that.
