  1. Trainee Graduate Recruitment Consultant Interview

    Anonymous Employee in United Kingdom
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hays (United Kingdom)

    Interview

    Overall as the process went on I was less and less interested in the role and the company. The process ended up seeming repetitive and was slightly off-putting to the point I wasn’t sure I would take a role if offered it.
