I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hays (Manchester, Inglaterra) in Sep 2024
Interview
What went well
Built rapport quickly with both partners, and they seemed engaged.
Highlighted my recent experience leading client work and managing juniors.
Felt confident on technical questions – no curveballs.
What could be improved
Could have prepared stronger examples of commercial awareness.
Missed the chance to ask more questions about the firm’s strategic direction.
Slightly rushed closing answer when asked “why us.”
It honestly felt super rushed and I was ghosted afterwards which felt very unprofessional. I also had to role play and had very little time to prepare, which definitely stumped the process a bit.
