I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Michael Page (Boston, MA) in May 2015
Interview
I was contacted by a member of the Talent Acquisition team via linkedin and agreed to have a call. The call went well and he asked if I would be available for a face to face interview the next day. He sent me a Personality Test to complete a couple of hours later. The test took about 45 mins to complete. It wasn't difficult, it's just not my favourite thing to do. The questions repeat themselves in different manners so I felt a bit like a moron answering them. In any case, I must have "passed" because they asked me to come into the office the next day. I was supposed to have two interviews - with the MD and the MD's boss. The more senior gentleman was no longer available so I spoke to the MD only. He was a very nice person and the interview was more of a pleasant discussion. He's asked me about my experience and left me plenty of time to ask my own questions. I knew what he was looking for but didn't want to "improve" the truth about my experience so I was honest about what I did and what I didn't do in the past. I got a negative answer from the TA guy a few days later. I didn't have enough sales and business development experience.

Question 1
Nothing difficult, general questions about experience, targets, achievements. If you really want the job, I would focus on sales experience more than recruitment.
Overall good experience. Got to meet nice and professional people during interview process. It started with a zoom call, meeting different members of the team and the last stage in person at the head office.

The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
I had a final round interview with a man named Sean Puddle. He told me I wasn't a good fit because I was from Long Island and likely had family money, so I wouldn't be hungry enough for this sales role.
Sean is now at Robert Walters, and I'm sure he's been the same jerk there.
