Hays interview questions

Telephone Interview (behavioural questions) Interview ( talked through career history / decision made and what I understood about HAYS) Assessment Day (*a chance for you to be yourself*) Role plays - allowing you to evidence your natural ability and confidence of selling the services available to potential clients, to demonstrate your ability to build rapport, sell candidates and LISTEN out for potential leads / opportunity. A great day for you to put your skills to the test, take on board feedback and develop during the day while enjoying yourself in a relaxed environment. Final Interview - A more in depth formal chat with Director and Regional - made to feel at ease. A chance to once again talk through your career to date, choices made and desire to progress with a global business. A chance to talk through commission structures, career progression. The final stage for you to sell yourself.

I was invited to a relaxed 3hr taster day along with about 20 others to gain more of an insight into the company and what the placement year would consist of. Firstly we were given a few presentations, in which everyone made a few notes on what was being said. Then we were split into groups in which we had to review an application, then ask questions to the directors about what was missing from the application. Make sure you ask a question at this point to get yourself noticed. Finally we were then split off into pairs, in which we had to interview each other to find out information so we could secure each other an interview when presenting to the managing directors. However, only one of us in the par could present, so again make sure this is you as that's what the assessors are looking for - someone who will put themselves forward. When presenting the aim is to secure your partner an interview, so ensure that you ask questions to the managing director like "so when is a suitable time for you to interview..." rather than "can they have an interview" - again this is what the assessors are looking for. I feel as though I could have got through this stage if I asked a question or presented - it's all about being noticed.
