I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hays (Singapur) in Nov 2015
Interview
The interview and assessment centre is intensive and tough but provides a very good picture and overview of the job expectations and a day as a recruitment consultant. Hence, I would say overall it is a very good experience. If you were to make it for the assessment centre, you should totally go for it !
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Assessment centre questions:
Task 1: Sales Presentation
The right job can transform a person's life. Do you agree or disagree?
Task 2: Roleplay by selling your candidate based on the profile of the candidate that is provided.
Task 3: Business Development Call
You are doing a follow up on the profile of the two candidates that you have sent previously.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Hays (Bristol, Inglaterra) in Nov 2015
Interview
Telephone interview roughly 15 minutes - "why do you want to work for hay's?", "what would motivate you to work at hay's?".
Face to face interview roughly 1 hour - questions asked in relation to CV, role play at the end (tip-try to secure an interview!).
Group assessment - There were 7 people in my group including me. We watched a short film about Hay's followed by Q+A and then a small introduction about yourself. Then you will be given a statement, you have to stand up and argue either for or against (tip-do not sit on the fence!), you have to complete two role plays (selling candidate to client and a business development call), we were given a tour around the office and then we had the final task of writing an advert for someone applying to work at Hay's.
In the role plays, always try to secure an interview, they care about your techniques not your knowledge. Make sure you listen carefully so you can answer sufficiently. Use creative licence, it will help a lot.
Good luck!
