Colloquio
Applied online. Initial call with an employee to discuss motivations, why recruitment etc.
Invited to London for an interview lasting nearly two hours. Quite relaxed environment and asking about CV, what do I know about Hays, recruitment, their business model etc.
Two days later I had an interview with a Director 1on1 who asked me questions about my CV, and practiced a BD call. Then a senior manager, also practiced a scenario calling a potential client. Then two other consultants interviewed me to get to know me personally. Finally another 1on1 with a senior consultant which was a relaxed conversation. This was more a chat than an interview.

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.

Very smooth interview process with all my questions being clearly answered. 1st stage was a teams call where I undertook a role play activity. 2nd stage was talking with the Senior Manager again on teams. 3rd and final stage was in person at the office, speaking again with the Senior manager as well as various directors/ employees. Was told there would be a chance for phone work but at the end of the interview was told it was no longer necessary. Overall, it was nice to converse with team members and barely felt the pressure of an interview.

Very structured interview process. A lot of questions about what you know or have researched about company. A small assessment at end which includes role playing. However, Not many situational questions to allow interviewee to highlight their experience and interpersonal skills. Interviewer I had was smiley and lovely, but also little condescending and passive aggressive. She seemed annoyed that I had not done sufficient research about company, yet my answers were based all the information provided on website and documentation provided. Felt more like I was being quizzed. May have been miscommunication. At no point in interview was I walked through throughly about how company differs from others, how they achieve their objectives, company culture, and what they offer employees. Majority of the interview felt like my answers where being nitpicked. Felt rushed and was received unsolicited and bizzare feedback.
