Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

Dont ask anything about their interests outside of the work environment....are you people crazy or just have no experience or credentials in HR. Imagine..."they asked me what i did outside of work and i told them i was a drag queen..and this is the reason they didnt hire me and are discriminating against me" some of you need to start qualifying your answers with your credentials.
I think you’re wrong here. This isn’t an interview, this is a meet and greet once someone is hired. It’s a time to make people feel comfortable and welcome. They’ve probably already gone through a rigorous interview process. The last thing you want to do is ask things like “what makes you a good fit”. That’s just pressure again. I would absolutely ask things like “what do you enjoy doing in your free time?” or “do you have any hobbies?” It’s a way to try and find common interests, if any.

About their current/previous role and how it aligns with the position they are interviewing for, what interests them about the company, what you like about it. Also could just start out with a brief intro of yourself and ask if they have any questions to kick off the conversation.
I'd just focus on "get to know you" type questions. Ask about their past experience. If they have any hobbies. More conversational questions.
You can ask about their interests outside of work and try to find something you have in common. The purpose of a meet and greet is building a connection and scoping out the personality of this potential employee.
Meet and greets are less formal, while still remaining professional. In this context, I would think the purpose is more for networking purposes.
I’m not sure I personally would have a “meet and greet” with a prospective employee or candidate.
I would call it an off-site interview or something to that effect.
This way, you avoid any sensitive areas or unclear territory as described in previous thread responses.
Hope this helps!
What do you know about our company and the position you're applying for? What interests you about this role? What kind of experience do you have that would make you a good fit for this position? What are your long-term career goals? How do you handle challenging situations or conflicts in the workplace? Do you have any questions about the company or the position?
As a manager, some questions you can ask in a meet and greet are: How do you approach problem-solving in the workplace? How do you manage competing priorities and deadlines? What experience do you have leading a team or managing projects?

How are you and where are you from? What is your background and what is your current work environment like you are looking for in a company?
So as someone with a degree in Employment Law, you don’t want to ask candidates about their origin or where they’re from. You might not have any bad intentions behind it, but it gives the candidate a very solid reason to file a lawsuit for discrimination.
Depends on the company/industry. For me I’m in healthcare I’ve worked in hospitals and outpatient clinics. I’ve mostly hired receptionist/registration positions. The front desk reception area/registration part is a vital role in any healthcare settings. It could very well be the difference between life and death. I would ask potential new hires how important they thought the role is in the company/organization.
Just ask them to give you an example of a project or initiative they led and what they learned from experience.
Go with something simple like "How do you approach feedback and professional development?"
Keep it professional but with a dash of casual, given the setting. Go for questions regarding their background and previous experiences.
What do you think are your greatest strengths, and how do they align with the requirements of this role?
What are you looking for in your next job, and how do you think this position aligns with your goals?
