I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SuperGrad (London, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview was a very basic affair, consisting of pretty standard interview questions from two people.
I'm afraid I was extremely shocked at the whole process. The main interviewer was extremely rude and on one occasion, explicitly insulted me. I can honestly say that he was the most arrogant person I have ever met. Moreover, he has not got a background in recruitment at all and used to be an Estate Agent, so I wouldn't take his advice.
In fact, if you read his 'about me' section on the website, he lists his most interesting attribue as the fact he once drove his BMW at 120mph. Need I say more?
Upon leaving I was given logins to their website and was encouraged to read through the material there. I found the content to be amateurish and, frankly, pointless.
There are so many promising roles for young people out there today, and this is just not one of them.
Excellent recruitment agency that not only secured me with a suitable and well fitted job, but also coached me through the entire process as well. Jen understood perfectly what I wanted from a job and very quickly got me in touch with some great companies, her approach throughout the process was very organised and very friendly. As well as this, the team here is very friendly and professional and without them I would not have the access, nor the ability to capitalise, on the opportunity that I now have.

Interview
I had a brilliant time working with the Supergrad team. I couldn't believe it was free, Nick and the team really cared about my progress; there was plenty of support from beginning to end. All my interviews were arranged by the team and they took the time to train me on interview technique and now, after having my placement secured, they have trained me further on recruitment skills: handling objections, leaving voicemails, tone and pace of voice among other things. Nick was always very honest and pushed me to reach my potential, needless to say, I am very grateful... I can't recommended the SuperGrad enough!

Question 1
Why do you want recruitment? Why do you believe you would do well?
