James Hay Partnership interview questions

Introduction of people interviewing, some HR information, Company Introduction and explanation of the interview and that there would be tests to prepare for. There was one interviewer and another scribing in the interview. Afterwards there was a Q and A. Overall I felt it was quite a stiff interview, which was more competency based.

Applied through an agency who informed me I had been accepted for an interview. Three days later I went for a face-to-face interview that ended with three tests - maths, problem solving and grammar. The interviewers themselves were very friendly, but I was surprised by how informally they were dressed. I had obviously made an effort (professional work attire) and both interviews were in hoodies and jeans, made me question their professionalism a little. I also found some of the questions a bit over the top, eg 'What inspires you in life?' - incredibly vague and doesn't exactly give the opportunity for me to talk about skills and experience. Overall, it was a fairly average experience but I didn't come away thinking I really wanted to work there.
