The first bit was an initial overview and people talking about how much they've billed, a lot of nonsense and people making themselves feel better about themselves. Then a one to one interview with two members of staff, depending who you get this could be useful, I got two decent people so this was okay.

I was headhunted after Graduate fasttrack found my cv online, I was contacted via a phone call which was a positive and hopefully conversation that led on to scheduling my attendance to an assessment day. My general opinion of assessment days are that they just highlight the loudest person in the group and they don’t get to know the candidates or their background and experiences. The assessment day started with a presentation from one of the account managers, which described the agency and what roles they fill. The next part was an icebreaker game of ‘would I lie to you?’ which I personally didn’t see the connection as I wouldn’t want recruiters to be lying to me in this job role. We then introduced ourselves and following on from that we had to sell our partner, so was given time to learn about our partner then had to sell them to the group on why they would be a good candidate. At this point they cut most of us and only took a selected few candidates in for a panel interview.
