Our recruitment process
Depending on the role applied for, we have 2 main recruitment processes. For centre and restaurant management roles, you will be interviewed initially and subject to success at this stage you will be invited to attend an Assessment day. This will usually involve several different exercises including a Competency based interview as well as other activities designed to allow you to show us your potential. This is also a great opportunity for you to get to know us and decide if Haskins is the employer for you.
For most other roles, our recruitment method consists of a 1 or 2 stage interview process with the hiring manager. This may include a customer interaction exercise which enables us to ensure that all of our new recruits are able to demonstrate the standards of Customer Service we require.
