I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BlueLight Commercial (Birmingham, England) in Jul 2025
Interview
Awkward interview, 2 of the 3 interviewees made no effort to be personable. The questions were not well aligned to the job description. I was advised I would hear by the end of the week either way. After 2 weeks, I assumed I hadn’t been successful but feedback is always useful so emailed to ask. I was sent an apology that the interview process hadn’t yet been finalised so would be informed within a few days. Another week passed and I finally heard something. However, in the form of a generic email saying they wouldn’t be taking my application any further. You also have to complete a personality test which you’re advised will be sent out on the outcome of the interview but this was never received. No feedback, not even a phone call to thank me for my time. Red flags on what they would be like as an employer

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BlueLight Commercial (Birmingham, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
I have applied via email. Received response after the app deadline. Communication was okay until the interview took place, then they didn't contact me in 2 weeks as promised. I had to chase them several times just to find out the outcome. I have asked for feedback on numerous occasions, which I never received.
I invested quite a bit of time in preparing for my interview and presentation, the least I expected was to get some feedback.
Looking back I'm glad they chose someone else, I wouldn't want to work with people who are so poor at communication and don't respect my work and time.
