Competency based interview. Panel of managers. Fairly tough given the seniority of the role. Did get the role in the end. All sales based. Role play phone call. Hiring and interview process
I applied online. I interviewed at Reed (Watford, East of England, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
They asked me for interviews slots but never replied to any of my emails providing availability???!! I don't understand what is wrong with their recruitment team? Has this happened to anyone else as well?
Applied in the branch due to seeing a poster in the window (im old fashioned) and then had a Face-to-face interview in the branch with the manager of that branch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about experience within recruitment in great detail, explored previous temps and perm exp
The initial phone screen was thorough. I spoke with a friendly HR representative who asked about my experience, motivations, and understanding of the recruitment industry. She explained Reed’s values and work culture and provided a great overview of the role. I appreciated that she asked thoughtful questions instead of the usual generic ones, which made me feel like they really wanted to understand if I’d fit into the team.
