HR Manager Interview

Hi there, I'm looking some advice please on the type of questions that may come up for a HR Manager position in the Public Sector. There is also an Unseen presentation??

Thanks in advance, Conor

  • Tell us about a time you successfully managed change?

    Where have you positively dealt with Trade Unions and what was the outcome?

    What has been the most challenging disciplinary case you have dealt with?

    Tell us about a time you helped transform the culture of your business ? What did you do and what was the result?

    When did you persuade a manager to follow your advice? Tell us about the outcome?

    What has been the most challenging situation you have faced at work?

    Etc. Etc. Expect a panel. Expect multiple interviews. Expect them to follow closely to a script and plan.
  • Hi Keith, many thanks for this - very helpful! Have you any experience of unseen presentations beforehand and what these COULD consist of?
  • An unseen presentation is an odd thing to ask. It’s either testing your presentation skills in which case they will give you details and after a short while you present their materials. Or it will give you a topic ( day reducing sickness absence) and you get 30 minutes or so to prepare something.

    Either way there’s not much you can do in advance but just be flexible and try to be calm.
