Hill+Knowlton Strategies Interview Questions

I completed multiple interviews just for the position to be elimnated, this was over the course of over half a year. Throughout the process the recruiter liasion took multiple days to respond with no clear answers throughout all the months.

I had an hour-long call with the Managing Director. HR called me the next day and asked me to do a writing test (which was about two hours long). The offer came in within the week.

EN-CN translation for 30mins which is a press release related to my team's client, motivations for this internship, a brief go-though of previous experiences, Q&A about what I'll be doing and time availability.

The interview process was transparent and well done. The interviewer asked targeted questions not only about myself, but to the position available. The interviewer also allowed time at the end for myself to ask questions. I would recommend being prepared by reading the job description and also asking questions about the company.

Friendly Chat with the interviewers - mainly talked about previous job experiences and views towards the current market Have to perform a written test beforehand Interviewed by HR then Manager Overall experience was great

Virtual Telephone Interview. Recruiter was demoralizing and made inappropriate jokes to cover a mistake he made in the scheduling process. Recruiter mistakenly indicated the location of the position was in Toronto rather than Vancouver.

I applied directly with H+K and immediately received an interview. I had carried a conversation with the Recruiter, Hiring Manager, and Head of HR. Following the last interview they weren’t sure who else I needed to speak with, if anyone. I was placed in a hold and while they continued conversations with other candidates. I’m the meantime, the Recruiter emailed me to ask for my references and proceeded to tell me they really liked me. With hesitation, I supplied references and was surprised they reached out to them so quickly. Was I getting an offer? 2 weeks later after I followed up with them because they went silent did the recruiter respond to me and claimed she “just” found out I will not be progressing. What kind of company gaslights a candidate? And who contacts references before an offer is given?! Stay away from HR here. Otherwise, overall WPP is alright.

Interviewed with H+K Sydney. Applied online on LinkedIn. They didn't ask for a resume, but they asked for you to answer a list of questions to let them know more about you. Around 2-3 weeks after submission, they will call you if you're shortlisted and ask you to attend a group interview session in their office with some account managers and executives, after which they will call you in approx. 10 days to tell you the outcome. Very positive experience with friendly interviewers, was even provided with refreshments for the interview. Difficult interview as they expect you to talk to multiple interviewers in a row.

It felt more like a conversation than the classic interview, thanks to this the whole process wasn't stressful. Classic: tell us about yourself, checking language abilities, how do you solve problems with your boss etc.

I had a LONG call with the recruiter and then 2 interviews with senior leadership. Then, I got ghosted. No response after 3+ hours of talking to the team. However, it was relatively easy and they didn’t ask any crazy questions.
