I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
I really enjoyed the interview experience and it played a big part in accepting the offer to join Deliveroo, when I had 2 other offers on the table. I met with two hiring managers and two people from the recruitment team. I was asked difficult and probing questions about my approach to recruiting, successes, failures and learnings.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Approach to hiring tech roles
- How I work with hiring managers
- Sourcing techniques
- Candidate experience
The recruitment process appeared disorganized, with a noticeable absence of feedback following the interview. It seemed the focus was predominantly on gathering market intelligence rather than assessing candidate suitability. Additionally, the communication from the recruiter did not meet professional expectations.
It started well with an initial recruiter screen and a follow up interview with the hiring manager, who was great! However, it quickly went downhill from there. After being told I'd hear back in a few days, there was silence. I followed up to never receive a response. Then a few weeks later, I received a rejection email out of the blue. Given that the company requires candidates to go through 3-5 interviews, the very least I would expect a simple communication in return, especially to their follow recruitment candidates who could potentially be their team mates in the future.
Hi - thanks for taking the time to share and I completely agree with you - it sounds like we dropped the ball here and well below our usual standards. Would you mind dropping me an email so I can look into this, and maybe make it up to you (at the least to see if I can get you feedback?) jamie.edwards+glassdoor@deliveroo.co.uk

Interview
Very efficient / clear - there were 3 rounds including a pre screen. More senior roles had more interview stages. Good interview process with helpful interview panel. Would suggest reading company values and mission statement.
