I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hays (Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England) in May 2016
Interview
Very long winded interview process. 4 stages to be infact. Wasted my time as I drove to Bristol for a sales preparation day to get to the final stage to be told 'I don't think you want this enough' basic salary was 16k (wouldn't have bothered if they were truthful at the beginning) definitely don't recommend them. After all this was a trainee recruitment role, whereas they seemed to be after a graduate; not someone with sales experience already.
