I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HCF (Australia) (Sydney) in Apr 2012
Interview
Through a recruitment company initially. Met with the manager and his assistant sat and had a nice long chat for about an hour before they thanked me. Good behaviour based questions with realistic answers to my questions about the role and company. Good time frames for response. They were obviously eager to hire as I received an offer the next day.
Overall, not as structured as I know some companies are with their recruitment process and I was surprised that such a large company was nimble enough to make an offer so quickly. Normal bureaucracy is clearly reserved for once you are an existing employee.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HCF (Australia) (Sydney) in Dec 2018
Interview
After applying through Seek, I received an invite to a video interview which asked multiple questions and then allowed space for you to record your answer (you couldn’t re-record so best to be as prepared as possible). Once this was submitted I received a face to face interview in head office with HR and the regional manager. It was very straightforward, asked scenario based questions around sales, service etc. HR were wonderful and professional to deal with throughout the whole process from start to finish.
