Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch bei Investigo

The people I met were friendly, engaging and consultative. It was a 50/50 discussion. The types of areas they assessed included culture, network and recruitment style. We discuss business growth plans and what part the role played in that.

3 stage interview process = 1 x internal recruiter, 2 x Manager / Director Asked about background, recruitment experience, knowledge, strongest sectors and weirdly who my best clients where.

I was referred by a friend, the recruiter reached out all friendly and what not at first. Then he set a time to chat with me over the phone. I waited for his call 5 minutes past our according time and didn’t hear from him. So I took the initiative to give him a ring to the number that was listed on his email. He picked up all confused about what this call was about and then he remembered he had an interview . At that point I knew this wasn’t going to be a place for me. Then we dive into my experience, how much I’m billing as an agency recruiter, and if I have done 360 desk. I could tell he was really interested in the call towards then because he kept saying “look here mate”.. on and one, he then said he will follow up with me but never did on any next steps. Even if this wasn’t the role for me, his communication skills were non existent. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

DO NOT waste your time!! Contacted by one of the recruiters from the company, who asked to arrange a brief introductory call to explain the company and my experience. I spoke with the recruiter who was friendly and wanted to meet me face-to-face as she said the company works for some large clients. I arranged the following week to meet them at they offices in Liverpool Street, where I was taken to a small room 30 seconds after arriving after a cold greeting from the reception area. I waited over 10 mins which was silly as I could have waited in reception and had a glass of water or something. I was then seen by three different recruiters, asking the same questions and passing the same CV with notes on it over and over. The recruiters are certainly good at talking but it is all hot air as you can see that they are there only for the commission and nothing else. They are also very interested about finding out which other agencies and jobs you have applied to and what to know everything about that, including names which is very unprofessional- Presumably to tout for business after. After going to see them in their office I left feeling flustered and not confident at all at their ability to find something. I guess I was right as I didn't hear from them ever again. Pure sales tactics so do not bother with them.

First round with the Director and Manager. Second round was a presentation on the sector and my business plan. Then I met the team at after work drinks and got offered. Easy and clear process.

Comprehensive, several interview stages that build up in intensity. All relevant content and questions. Gave a good idea of what the team and direct manager would be like. Good chance to ask questions and find out more. First round: introductions, get to know each other Second round: delve into more detail on relevance for role and motivations Third round: meet more team members Fourth round: talk through initial ideas of a business plan Decision

Competency and motivation based interview. I met with 3 senior leaders, a manager and a senior consultant. I then came back for a social with the broader team. They wanted to find out my methodology behind how I ran my desk but also check I fitted with the culture and motivations were correct.

Smooth 4 stage process: initial introductory call, followed by an ‘informal’ first round over coffee to explore background, in office presentation including a business plan presentation and understanding of market, meeting with Director for cultural fit and final sign off.
