Temporary Sourcer at Adecco
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Mountain View, CA (US) Nov 2010 – Reviewed Sep 23, 2011
Interview Details Very easy and fast. Began with a phone screen then an in person 1:1 interview. No panel, no long drawn out process. Received a phone call and email with a job offer. That lead to another internal contract. The quickest and easiest interview process I've had in a long time. Reminded me of the "old days" when interviewing was more personal.
Interview Question – Why are you interested in this role? You seem very overqualified. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was more than happy what was offered and did not feel the need to negotiate.

Human Resources at Adecco
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Aug 05, 2011
Interview Details
I was interviewed face to face by my now team leader and the overall manager of the department. Interview questions ranged from full comptency based questions with little or no probing to generic questions with no relevance such as 'I see from your CV that you have managed teams before, this role involves no people management - how do you feel about that'....to 'we do things differently around here, we don't follow good practice as such, how do you feel about that'.
After the interview I then delivered a training session to my team members who then also interviewed me and grilled me at length about gaps on my CV.
Prepare for a varierty fo questions, interviewing is an art, which some employers don't have this skill, prepare for full competency based questions as well as generic questions that don't add any value.
Interview Question – I see that you work at the CIPD as a tutor, we don't follow good practice here how do you feel about that. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was prepared to negotiate however the offer was higher than advertised, so I accepted. I did attempt to negotiate on other T&Cs but was flatly told no. Think about where you are in your career right at this minute and can you compromise on areas of the offer when you break it all down.

Administrative Assistant at Adecco
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2010 – Reviewed Mar 07, 2011
Interview Details The recruiter was awful. She was completely lost, and I had to follow up with her multiple times. I would call her and she would be like, "oh, I was going to call you, umm..what was that about again?" She gave me these tests that were terrible and hard, and had nothing to do with what I am doing right now! I never finished them either. I never even heard from her after I got on-site. Neither did my boss.
