Application Process & Interviews at Gallagher

Can't fault it, had around 3 interviews before being offered the position. Also went through an intermediary, Proforce.

Can't remember all of it but remember doing an interview with an interviewer and then a second interview with another interviewer then a phone call couple weeks later offering the role.

Only two interview, do not remember any assessments

I was hired through a recruitment agency who found the graduate role for me. There were 2 interviews I had to attend for Gallagher and both interviewers were friendly and weren't intimidating.

I went through a recruitment company and then had two interviews with Gallagher which was a straight forward process.

The interview and assessment process was very quick and streamline once the company approached me.

3 stages, interviewers were energetic and positive,

Interview process was great, my judgement would be affected due to the effects covid had on the process

3 stages, one with the recruitment company and two with Gallagher. The two Gallagher stages didn't discuss different things so they could have been made just one.

The interview process was straightforward. I applied through ProForce (a recruitment company) for a role in Corporate Sales. I attended a recruitment day at their office. I was required to do a series of problem solving activities (in a team) and pitch to the manager director of ProForce why I wanted a career in sales. I was then selected by the recruitment company for a first round interview with Gallagher where I met with the head of Talent and Leadership . I was selected to attend a second round interview at Gallagher where I met with Sean Gallagher (head of branches) and Lisbeth Rees (Head of HR). I was then offered the job which I gladly accepted.

I went through a hiring company, where the interview day involved a mix of team exercises, a short individual pitch and an interview. The hiring company then helped me prepare for the interviews with Gallagher. The first interview was with the Head of Talent & Leadership Australia, which is quite a formal interview, and the second interview was with the Australian HR Director and the Head of Branches, which was more of a chat than an interview.

The hiring process was good. I initially went through a recruitment company and then went through two rounds of face to face interviews at Gallagher. The interview process was straight forward and allowed for time in between to consider if you want to move forward in the process if successful.

What I was looking for in work. Best attributes and what attracted me to the position.

Personal questions about myself, my background like my degree and past employment. Then questions about what understanding of insurance brokers and their place in the market as well as why I was interested in Gallagher grad program.

I was asked challenging questions but the interviews ran smoothly and I was given ample time to communicate my answers effectively without pressure. I was asked about my university and personal background, what I knew about the company and what they do, and how I could contribute to their company.

Asked about my prior experience

Behavioural questions and questions about the company and industry.

Open ended questions regarding what I saw from the company and why I wanted to work for the

- past experience - why you want to work at Gallagher - extra-curricular activities -

1. Discuss a time you experienced conflict with a work colleague and how you overcame this 2. What was your biggest achievement in a previous role? 3. What do you know about Gallagher?

What experience do you have? How does your experience relate to the advertised role? What are your career goals, both short and long-term? What are your interests & relating them to your degree. What do you bring to the table for Gallagher?

I was asked straight forward questions such as my previous experience/ qualifications, what I have learnt in previous roles , what I know about the company, what would make me an ideal candidate.

I had the help of the intermediary in prepping me for the interviews. But I would prep 3 questions you want to ask and I would know a bit about the company first as this will make you stand out.

Just be yourself and answer questions open and honesty and do some research on the company and the industry they operate in.

Be prepared before the interview and study what you can about the company. Be ready to answer questions about the company and yourself. It's ok to stumble but stay positive and continue to push forward. Remember the interviewers are just people and want to have a conversation. Most importantly, be yourself.

Make sure you have done research on the company so you can ask any questions that you may have.

Research the company, competitors and don't be afraid to ask the interviewers questions.

Prepare well before hand

Be yourself and get to know the company before the interview process

understand exactly what Gallagher does - know that there will be a lot of administration work with the role

Conduct plenty of research into Gallagher and their competitors, read their quarterly reports, look up their performance on the ASX. Read industry reviews about Gallagher.

Understand Gallagher as a whole. Come in with a friendly attitude and spend the time to chat with the interviewer initially, all the employees here love to chat. Come in with questions prepared for after the interview.

Make sure you research the company first and have questions prepared. Knowing about the business gives you a better chance of getting to the second round interview and also allows you to decide if the company is right for you.
