      Recruiter Interview

      Apr 28, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hays

      Interview

      Erstes Telefoninterview von 20 Min mit HR, dann zweimal 1h mit jeweils zwei Teamleadern. Erster Schritt allgemeine Fragen bzgl. CV, Vorstellungen Gehalt, Englischkenntnisse geprüft. Frage auch ob man im Bereich für Festanstellung oder Temp arbeiten möchte. Zweiter Schritt nochmals CV, Fragen bezüglich Persönlichkeit: Beispiel für Niederlage nennen und wie man damit umgegangen ist, Höhe der Frustrationstoleranz, Motivation und auch Fragen bzgl. den eigenen Vorstellungen von der Arbeit bei einem Personaldienstleister, Schätzfragen für KPIs. Sonst auch viel Infos über Hays, den Job an sich, was gefordert wird.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Was ist aus deiner Sicht wichtig für diesen Job? Was motiviert dich? Welche IT Firmen kennst du? Warum braucht es überhaupt Personaldienstleister? Welche Vorteile bieten wir den Kunden und Kandidaten? Welche Anzahl Abschlüsse pro Monat sind realistisch? Anzahl CVs die man realistischerweise pro Woche rausschicken kann? Konkrete Fragen zum Business waren aber Schätzfragen. Wichtig ist wohl hier, dass man nicht auf der Bremse steht, wer zu hoch liegt ist gut bedient.

      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Hays

      Interview

      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.
