Hays interview questions

4 stages of interview : Phone screen,Competency based interview, Assessment Centre and final interview with Director & manager. Really great as you are constantly updated by the HR members of Staff Jen and Ailbhe. Also it gives you a great feel of the company and a taste of the actually role itself.

it was a 3 stage interview for me, the first was a phone call with generic recruitment consultant questions. - why recruitment, what do you know about recruitment, do you know anything about us. etc. after this was a face to face interview - basic recruitment questions and basic interview questions - make sure to look at 360 process of recruitment and the leading sectors to impress them. the next stage was an assessment day - make sure to prepare for this. first they showed us a video about the company - which you can find all the info off of their website. make sure to memorise this as you will have to give a min talk about a certain aspect of the company. we also had to introduce ourselves, i.e. name, where your from, degree or previous work experience. in this case try to pick something that will stand out, i think i had the weakest talk in this case because by chance everyone else there had really interested past jobs like working on the red carpet. but as long as you can relate your past experience to recruitment you'll be fine, or do what i did and make a small joke as long as its appropriate you'll still stand out. after this we had 2 role plays. make sure to ask open questions and be inquisitive, google open ended questions. and always listen to the person in the role play with you, i.e. if they say ohh sorry i don't have time to talk, respond with no worries ill make this as quick as possible for you. after this we had to write a job advert- for this just look at past adverts. and make it short and snappy.
