3 round interview, customer focused questions. Overall nice interview setting, make sure to research BTA before going for the interview. Questions regarding the vision, mission and values of the company.

Normal retail interview, asked about previous experience, how you deal with customers, what the brand means to you etc. also wanted to know why I wanted to work in arnotts Staff are all very nice and welcoming After interview had to attend a pretty long online induction and then it took another week or two to start working so the process can be a little long but it’s worth the effort in my opinion!

Had screening call with recruiter. They were upfront that the salary for the role was €45K. I declined to go further in the process as this was below my expectations.

Easy interview process , they asked me all the questions you might expect them to as for a sales assistant role. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing unusual. Can’t say there is anything in particular that stands out
- What experience do you have

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Dublin, Dublin
I applied online. I interviewed at Brown Thomas Arnotts (Dublin, Dublin) in Sept 2022
The recruiter called me and I had a phone interview first. Then after a few days she called and scheduled a virtual interview with two team members. I was only given a day to prepare for it which now I regret as I should have asked for more time to prepare. The interview was lengthy. It went on for 1 hour where I was answering the multiple hypothetical questions they asked. It did not seem practical at all. The team member first asked 3-4 questions and then the recruiter asked at least 8-10 situation based questions. The feedback I received was that my answers where not good enough. I think their recruitment process is very flawed. A candidate may not give great answers for many reasons1. They did not have enough time to prepare 2. They are not used to giving interviews 3. They suffer from anxiety and hence get nervous while answering so many questions etc. If the candidate has the skills and the experience for the job shouldn’t they be judged through an assessment instead if being judged on their interviewing skills. Ofcourse the company needs to filter out candidates to get the best candidate for the job but the job description says the candidate should be good at writing descriptions not at giving interviews.
