      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (London, England) in Sept 2022

      Interview

      The interview process began with a call from Lidl's internal recruiter. The call was thorough and professional. Several days later I received a second call to inform me I'd been selected for the next stage of an in-person interview. I had to prepare a presentation for the interview and was emailed the criteria shortly after the call. I attended the interview with two members of the department that I'd be potentially working in. The interview was professional, relaxed and went well. I was informed that Lidl always provides feedback for candidates who have reached the interview stage and I should hear back the following week, once all other interviewees had been seen. Around a week and a half later I decided to have a look at Lidl's job postings on LinkedIn. The role I'd applied for had had the job posting updated with 'no longer accepting applications' shortly before I'd been invited to interview. I found the position I'd interviewed for had been reposted the previous day. I quickly realised I'd obviously been unsuccessful in my application. I considered waiting for an official response but decided to email Lidl's recruiter directly to ask about this. To be honest, I found it very unprofessional to repost a job without first informing interviewed candidates that they'd been unsuccessful. I received a call back from the recruiter practically immediately after I emailed. He informed me of the obvious and gave me some vague feedback. I asked if I could get some feedback in writing so I could take the critique going forward. I then got an automated email from Lidl recruitment telling me I'd not been selected. I waited another week for some feedback in writing without a response so opted for a different approach of emailing one of the interviewers directly. I never received a response. Overall the initial conduction of the interview process was very good, the first call was in-depth and lots of questions were asked. The face-to-face went well and was a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the post-interview process left a lot to be desired. When candidates make a lot of effort to apply, screen and attend an interview, the least an employer could do is provide some feedback in writing. More so if the candidate has had to do anything extra prior to the interview as I did in this case. I spent a considerable amount of time on the required presentation and I'm not arrogant enough to think this should land me the role but it should at least be acknowledged with written feedback rather than an automated rejection. I'm sure they'd prefer to be treated professionally post-interview.
