      Portfolio People Director Interview

      1 Jul 2021
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at People Puzzles (London, England) in May 2021

      Interview

      Online assessment , first interview with resourcing manager with interview covering as much about the PP operating model as well as my experience. 2nd interview with a People Director - some technical questions as well as questions around expectations for the role, managing multiple client relationships as well as info sharing on what it's like to do the role, 3rd interview with Regional Director - identifying types of organisations and sectors I like to work in, preferred working patterns as well as info on the business development side. The whole process kept reinforcing the operating model and whether that would be something I would enjoy working in, was very transparent and by the end I felt confident accepting an offer believing it was the right thing for me as well as being an organisation I would enjoy working with

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at People Puzzles (Colchester, England)

      Interview

      It was thorough but reasonably quick, the questions were all experience linked questions and none set deliberately to catch you out. I had one telephone, two video and one face to face interview.

      The process was a multi meeting In-depth dive into my background and reasons for my desire to be a member of the People Puzzles Team. This was carried out virtually and with a high degree of dignity and respect by all concerned. Afterwhich a final meeting with the Regional Director was held.

      Thank you for writing a review here on Glassdoor and for mentioning about our working model. We offer a truly flexible and diverse working environment - very different to a traditional HRD role. Being a Portfolio People Director gives autonomy to work with multiple clients, to solve a myriad of challenges, whilst supported by a large peer group and central support crew. Our team find it truly rewarding and invigorating, but we understand that it’s not for everyone, so we do take time to explore this during our selection process. We are so pleased you decided to join us for this next stage of your career. Welcome to People Puzzles!
