Pretty easygoing, a joint teams call with the team leader, HR and the recruitment representative. The interview was pretty forward and with all the classical interview questions. All very easygoing.
I applied online. I interviewed at Intrum (Glasgow, Scotland) in Feb 2026

Interview Process: Online Video Call
I attended an online video interview scheduled for 10:30am. When I logged in at the correct time, I was placed 14th in a queue. The system initially indicated a 15-minute wait, however the actual wait time was closer to 40 minutes. This felt poorly organised given that interviews were scheduled at specific times.
At the start of the interview, I was asked what I currently do. After explaining my professional background, I was then asked why I wanted to work in a call centre. I explained that I am deliberately beginning a new career direction and am keen to build experience from the ground up, with the intention of progressing into management over time.
The interviewer indicated they were looking for candidates who expressed a strong desire to help people. However, there were no follow-up questions about customer scenarios, service values, or how I would approach supporting customers. The interview concluded shortly after, with feedback that I lacked empathy. As I was not asked any behavioural or situational questions, I did not feel I was given a fair opportunity to demonstrate this.
Overall, the experience felt rushed and somewhat disorganised
Two interviews, first general with HR, second one with Team Lead and Tech Lead.
In second interview asked some questions about how I would deal with certain situations. Like how would I handle slow DB queries, what if API endpoints are down and so on.
