Initial phone call lasting 15 minutes, if successful you move to face to face with HR lasting 30 minutes or so, then an all morning assessment day involving presentations and role play. Then a final face to face interview with the director.

First stage was a telephone discussion, second stage a 121 interview and 3rd stage a group assessment. The 3rd stage was where there are role play scenarios, Hays presentation from assessor, tour of office, write a job description and review 3 cvs and role play selling the candidates cv to a "client." It was great to do the assessment to really get to know the day to day life of a recruiter at Hays. It was also great to see that there is so much careers progression at Hays with everyone working there way up to Business Manager or higher.
