Kelly Services Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details A lot of the initial correspondence was via telephone and then an interview with the agency on behalf of the client.

Interview Details My experience with Kelly Services has been amazing. The processes have been streamlined, detailed, and have never left me any unanswered questions. The staff was very friendly. Granted, there has never been a way to contact HR throughout the application/interview process, there is no need to because all communications from the company have been straight to the point and detailed. They've done a great job. I can't tell you how to get the job but I can tell you that if you do your part, Kelly will hold it's end of the bargain for qualified candidates.

Interview Details I received a phone call from a recruiter from Kelly Services on April 4th to speak about a position. I did not return the phone call, because I wasn't interested in the position. on April 10th, she called again, and left an email message for me about the same job. I replied to the email stating that I did not have the experience just from the job title. The email message didn't say much about the job. It only had a few sentences. The recruiter replied back to me that it was ok, because they would train me. I then spoke to her on the phone later in the day. She didn't explain much about the job to me during the phone call, but said that Kelly Services is the internal agency for the company, and is their main recruiter. She had me describe my work history. She said the job could go up to two years. My resume was then sent to the job. I heard back from her on Monday 4/15 asking me to interview for the next day. I had to request a few hours off from work with a day's notice for this interview. I still didn't know the job details, and the recruiter only sent me the full job description later in the day after the interview was scheduled. The interview confirmation stated that the job went up to October, with a possible extension of two years. The recruiter never mentioned to me before that it could end as early as October, but I still went to the interview. I did the interview, and received a rejection email from the recruiter the next day. She stated that the company didn't think I was a good fit, which is what I told her when I first spoke to her. I also only had the night before the interview to look over the job description. The recruiter didn't explain what the company was looking for when she spoke to me the first time. When I complained about not getting the job description until the interview was scheduled, she said "sorry," but didn't explain why she gave it to me so late.

Interview Details I applied online for a supply chain position. I received a call the next day and had a small phone interview. After-which I was sent some testing information. The tests comprised of Typing Speed and Accuracy, a word section and an excel section. Then another test dealing with shipping and another dealing with warehousing. I received a call the next day and was told i passed all the sections and was scheduled for an interview. I got there and filled out a bunch of paperwork then had a face-to-face interview. The lady was very nice and just asked me general questions about past experiences with work. I was hired there and then

Negotiation Details – None

Interview Details Starts with an email to Kelly Services followed by an in-person interview. The interview and initial paperwork will take at least one hour. If that goes well, fingerprints are checked (at the employee's expense) and background checks are conducted. If those are good, you attend orientation session where you learn Kelly Svcs, school system, and how to find vacancies in the system. Very shortly thereafter you start in the classroom.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. There is a set schedule that includes: an hourly wage for teacher aides (no degree required), a set rate per day for a degreed candidate (any degree- a higher degree does not equal more pay), and a set rate for a candidate with a current in-state educator license (an out-of-state license does not count but there is a process to obtain a current state license).

Interview Details Signed up on-line and received a call from a recruiter to set up testing. It always took at least 2 days for the recruiter to return calls or emails about status of application. Was never told to call in or what the process was for staying on a call list. Received one call from a different recruiter about the possibility of several temp positions. I could only choose one (should have know then that this was bogus). Never received any more phone calls. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

Interview Details Very cludgy; no one knew how to get the process going smoothly. I felt like I was drving the whole thing, including the job offer (when I already knew from an inside source I had been offered the position, it took them nearly a week to offer it to me directly).

Negotiation Details – Ridiculous!

Interview Details Hiring process is long and need to go through 4 rounds. The interviewer are friendly and most of them are young thus are in-experience.

Interview Details Having Microsoft Office Certifications helped me get this job.

Negotiation Details – I started off as a typist but my salary rose when after I had been coding macros that automated generating charts, tables and graphs.
