The initial telephone interview was very brief, and asked a standard set of questions: Why Recruitment? Why Hays? and so on.
A one-on-one interview was arranged for the next morning. This lasted about half an hour. Involved a more detailed look over my CV, alongside a short role-play of a recruitment scenario.
Was invited to attend assessment centre the next day.

Question 1
Nothing particularly hard; role-play was most challenging as hadn't done that before.
The process was really fast, and the schedule to the the interviews as well. Also the interviewers were really professional. They explained really well the pros and cons of the company .
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Hays (Bologna) in June 2025
Interview
Mi hanno contattata per un colloquio telefonico, è andato bene e mi hanno organizzato un altro colloquio in videochiamata. Hanno concluso chiedendomi di mandare una mail specificando quale delle due posizioni libere mi interessava di più e dicendo che ci saremmo sentiti sicuramente presto. Ho mandato due email, mai ricevuto una risposta.
first phone interview then an online interview. They were nice but also very fast in the process. They wanted to know more about me and my background and if I knew some technical work.
