Interesting and genuinely engaging interview process. It felt like actual conversations, the intial calls and in person interviews made me feel at ease and comfortable. Helped me calm nerves. Would recommend applying based on the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, asking about my background and what direction I plan to take for the future
I applied online. I interviewed at Begbies Traynor (Glasgow, Scotland) in Oct 2025
Interview
First Stage Interview and it was awful. Interviewers were monotone and blunt. One Interviewer was late and joined halfway through me speaking which completely threw me off guard. First interview they didnt let me ask any questions too. I asked the HR representative prior to the interview for tips/structure of the interview. No answer was given. I also asked her for feedback after the interview and still no answer. They haven't even contacted me after the interview and its been over 2 weeks. Honestly anyone applying to the glasgow branch should not waste their time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Begbies Traynor (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Totally messed around in a process where they had not made an actual hiring decision, appeared to be a market information excercise. Ask the question if they actually have a signed off position ready.
