- Telephone Interview - Interview with your Line Manager - Assessment Centre - Interview with your Director Tip for the interviews would be just to be honest and prove your driven and determined and you'll get up and do it again no matter what knocks you down. Financially driven is always a big one in recruitment. Assessment Centre - Introductions - Presentation from the assessors - Short presentation from each candidate (arguments for or against a given point) - Group exercise - you will be given a job and a load of CV's and as a group you have to decide the order in which candidates are suitable - Role play 1 - selling a candidate at a client meeting - Role play 2 - business development call (you will be given a scenario, it may be that they have had a previous bad experience with Hays. The key is to talk them round and CLOSE with some kind if commitment, either a meeting, call back etc) - Writing a job advert (have a look at the style in which Hays advertise jobs)

They were not upfront the number of interview stages involved. Interviewed for their intern position and it was a 4 stage interview process with the last being interview with one of their Directors. Last two stages was just a calendar invite to attend a teams meeting with some individuals, no accompanying email or whatsoever to tell you what the invite was all about and I found this very unprofessional for a recruitment agency especially as there was no consideration that such appointment could clash with any prior appointment one already has going on. Interviews were generally OK and friendly until the last one with the Director who from first meeting came across as very unfriendly and towards the end, made me feel I was taking up too much of her time by asking questions at the end of the interview.
