I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hays (Birmingham, England) in July 2016
Interview
A 5 stage interview process:
- Online application - CV submission - not very long
- Telephone interview - was a bit unexpected as I called in to ask a question and ended up being interviewed without really knowing. It went okay nonetheless but I was honest about not being prepared and didn't try and blag it.
- 1-2-1 Interview with internal recruiters
- Assessment centre with internal recruiters
- Final 1-2-1 with a director

Interview
Good and friendly interview process where the interviewer wanted to get to know you as a person to see if you suit the team and company culture. I had a positive experience for my interview.
CV Selection, Phone call, Interview, Assessment Centre. They were very diligent and clearly knew what they were looking for. You also had to do some role play and practice exercises. I really enjoyed the experience and it was challenging!
