I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hays (Maitland, FL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Initially contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn, and did first round phone interview with her. Very straight forward making sure you’re interested in the industry/job and talking through your resume.
Next step was another phone interview with the hiring manager in the office you want to go to. Once again straight forward behavioral interview. Very easy to talk with them. After this round I was invited to interview in person in their Maitland Office.
Went into the office for a 2-3 hour interview with several different people within the office. Had the chance to speak with both recruiters and account managers as well as the hiring manager, managing director and Skyped with VP. Everyone was extremely friendly and easy to talk to! They asked mostly standard behavioral questions and let you ask as many questions as you wanted. Each person was very honest in discussing both the challenges and rewards of the job which was refreshing instead of only hearing one side. I ended up hearing back a few days later that I was going to receive an offer and decided to accept. Their company culture seems really great and you can tell they care about their people.
It was a good process. fairly straight forward to understand and the people were friendly and clear. asked general questions like why the firm, why recruitment, tell us about yourself etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Hays (Río de Janeiro) in Oct 2025
Interview
Duas etapas: entrevista inicial com recrutadora da Consultoria Hays, em seguida entrevista com recrutadoras do cliente.
A consultoria não retornou com o feedback final, o que ocasionou frustração.
É importante que os feedbacks finais sejam passados aos candidatos.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sobre a minha experiência com recrutamento e seleção.
Teams call. Then they invite you into the office, tell you about the company. Tell you how they value DEI and other initiatives they do then Q&A with a director, then 3 role plays. The process is not difficult but it isn't a real interview they hold them to test the market and see what the candidate market is like. They might also do them to keep their existing recruiters on their toes and maybe also to just collect data.
