Hays interview questions

They found me through Monster and called me initially to promote the job. Following this I had 2 telephone interviews with the same person about a week apart (this was also the person who called me in the 1st place!!). I was told I was through to the face to face interview but had to wait nearly a month for this to take place. This was with the permanent recruitment manager and temporary recruitment manager. I was told a few days later that I was through to the next interview. A 2 week wait for this interview which was with the permanent recruitment manager again and this time the regional manager. Again went well, the NEXT interview was with the regional manager again and the regional director who seemed to hate graduates and gave a big grilling on whether I could manage a full time job after just coming out of university!! - This is a graduate job by the way!! - Then, was told it went well but had to wait another 2 weeks for the actual decision. When I went in and was told I got the job I was given a start date nearly 4 weeks away from then.

Referred by a friend who was vacating the role. The position was working in a small team, located away from the head office. The hiring process was informal with two interviews and a meet the team session. There were some behavioural type questions combined with standard questioning. The management appeared to be very welcoming during this process.
