I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Arriva Group (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was a 2 stage process, pretty quick, my only negative is that the recruiter wasn't good with comms, days between replies and not much info or feedback when I was rejected (but that is common with recruitment, I'd just have picked up the phone!). The HR and Manager I met were both lovely and showed what a great culture and place the business was. Whilst I didn't get the role, I enjoyed the experience and would have been happy to have worked there, but it wasn't meant to be.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Arriva Group (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
HR were very friendly at the beginning and set me at ease. Went to HQ for 2 interviews but after weeks and weeks - nothing - clearly been GHOSTED. Shocking behaviour by Arriva group.
