      Graduate Trainee Interview

      21 Jul 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hays in Nov 2024

      Interview

      Few rounds of assessments - debates, role plays and a sharing on the company itself. Found that they were pretty transparent with the expectations but also the rewards if you do make it through. To note: I also had friends in the company or in the industry, and heard HAYS is the type of company that only works for a certain type of person.

      I interviewed at Hays (Kuala Lumpur) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      Very fun, had a role playing session with the regional director. They pit you against other candidates in the room and get you to debate , role play and present about the company. Second round is done on the day itself with your respective hiring managers.
