Interview

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What motivates you, previous billing, what you know about us
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Half (Toronto, ON)
Interview
If you are attractive and have a charming personality you basically have the job at Robert Half.
No actual skill set is required. The interview process is more of a meet and greet and seeing if you are ale to grind it out.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Robert Half (Tokio) in Jan 2019
Interview
- VERY LONG - 8-10 step process.
If you apply, then you will need to do it 3 months in advance due to how slow and long this process is. You will meet ALOT of people.
Including: Skype call from TA in Australia, meeting with various directors, then team members.
Then you have to come in to their office to work for half a day followed by a lunch with your potential team members. Then an IQ test, followed by a reference check (which the reference checker made my former boss uncomfortable with their questions - give them a heads up about it).
Finally a meeting with the MD.
They have a draw, which doesn't reset (but the % resets back down every year - which means less money for you, and more money for the company).
Also candidates/clients are split (50/50 or 50/25/25), so that they can pay you less money when it comes to commission. This was the main reason for turning down Robert Halfs offer, as this is one of the worst commission plans in my opinion.
KPI's are 20 sendouts per month / 15 meetings / 10 requests / bring 5 new clients when your first join.
They want to make sure you can hit those KPI's and everyone likes you.
