I applied online. I interviewed at Randstad (Melbourne) in July 2017
Interview
No one actually rang me, instead all communication was through text messages and emails.
I was shortlisted to stage 1 to complete a series of questions through email and then a few days later I reached stage 2 and I had to complete a "neuroscience" game. I was advised that there was no wrong or right answer, and that it was only to see how I am work-wise. As soon as I completed the online game, I receive an email no more than a minute later, saying that they no longer wished to proceed with me as I did not have the high score that they wanted. I don't know what the "neuroscience" game has to do with Recruitment and Sales - I'd much rather prefer to have spoken to someone in person or over the phone and not through a series of automated texts and emails. I also thought it wasn't fair to judge my competency through an online game. The whole process felt very cold and when I sent emails at the start I never got a reply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1: What draws you to the sales environment?
2: What are the differences between a Recruiter and HR roles?
3: Are you committed to more than one job at the moment?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Randstad

There will be physical interviews with different managers to get a better understanding of yourself. once you’ve passed those, last interview will be with the country director to see if you’re a good fit with the culture
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There will be scenarios to test your response to rejections from clients and candidates - to get an understanding of how well you respond to rejections/queries in terms of behaviour and tactfulness
Was a very quick interview to see my understanding of the role and how I could apply myself and why I wanted the role. Also wanted to gauge how I would fit into the culture
easy process, 3 stages typically.
nice people, good questions, happy to answer any questions had as well. good to know about company in good detail. good environment in office too.
