Behavioral Technical Presentation

The first interview with Zach went well, but the second one with Kevin was terrible. They attempted to trick me during a role-play exercise, which involved asking a client about their ideal candidate and then pitching myself as that candidate, even though I had no prior experience with such a task. Kevin's feedback at the end was extremely rude and condescending. Honestly, even if an offer were extended, I wouldn't accept it because it was the worst interviewer experience I've ever had. It makes me wonder how he treats his employees. Other recruitment agencies show much more respect. I would seriously consider looking for opportunities elsewhere.

The interview process was straightforward and well-explained. The commission structure was presented clearly, and the internal recruitment team was easy to reach and open. I definitely would have taken the job if it had been offered.

It was a general chat, nothing too formal. Pretty standard recruitment interview apart from the specific questions. I got the vibe they were looking for someone more senior based on the questions, even though they knew I was just starting out in recruitment. They rejected me because they thought I was too young and not ready to be a full 360 consultant. It was a rough experience and really affected my confidence back then, but I’ve gone on to have a successful career since, so don’t let one experience make you feel less capable!

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Melanie inquired about my age and whether I was still living with my parents.
