- Hays Technology Consultant interview with roleplay and a communication-focused discussionHays Technology · Consultant · Jul 2026
I started with a recruiter call that was mostly about understanding the vacancy. After that, I moved into a more immersive interview that included an overview of the company and role, plus a roleplay exercise to see how I handled the situation. Then I had a more personal conversation about my training and prior experience. The process stayed grounded. It was more about fit and communication than…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: compact junior case studyHays Technology · Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
After a short talent-acquisition briefing, I spoke with potential line managers. The format was compact and structured around junior-level case-study scenarios. Each slot lasted about half an hour and involved no more than two people, so the conversation stayed focused. In some junior sessions, multiple candidates were on the call. That made it feel more like a group assessment even though the in…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: consulting role and group assessmentHays Technology · Consultant · Onsite · Jul 2026
My first in-person interaction focused on what the role meant day to day. They explained the position, the research and selection area, the team, and the kind of consulting work involved. We also discussed contract types, hybrid work, the selection process, and relationships with clients. The later conversations focused on recruitment and culture rather than heavy testing. I met people connected…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: contract role changed to stageHays Technology · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026No response

When I declined the internship option, the recruiter said they would check whether a contract was possible and update me. That update never came. I tried to contact them, but the only eventual response was a LinkedIn message with no meaningful follow-up. My calls and messages went n…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: executive tone and low compensationHays Technology · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026Offer
The hiring manager made the interview feel as though I were applying for an executive-level role. The tone and expectations were correspondingly high pressure. The offer that followed did not match what I thought the process had promised. The salary was relatively low compared with how senior and serious the interview had felt, and I felt they had not been transparent about the actual scope. I di…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: friendly manager conversationHays Technology · Consultant · Onsite · Jul 2026
My early rounds were simple and conversational. The initial interview covered common questions, and when I realized I had not prepared for one, I could pause and think before answering. The process then moved directly to an in-person conversation with the team manager, and the tone remained friendly. The role and its missions were explained in a way that let me picture myself doing the job, and t…
- Hays Technology Consultant interview: manager meetings and clear expectationsHays Technology · Consultant · Onsite · Jul 2026Offer
After I applied, the process was straightforward and clearly staged. I started with an online conversation with talent acquisition, who were transparent about the role and how the work would be organized. I then moved through assessment steps and face-to-face meetings with managers. The conversations were short and focused rather than highly technical. I also had a final in-person meeting with se…
