As someone who rarely leaves reviews, I felt compelled to share this experience. The initial interview with a member of the recruitment team, for a UK-based HRBP role, went well. I progressed to a second interview with a member of the HR team, where the interviewer joined late and apologised - this in itself wasn't an issue. However, most of the session was spent reviewing my CV aloud at the same time as I was answering behavioural questions, which I found distracting and disruptive to my responses. Approximately 15 minutes in, she leaned back and yawned. The interview felt unstructured and did not reflect a professional candidate experience. Given the time candidates invest in preparation, I left the process with reservations about the overall standard of the interview experience. Candidates deserve better.
