• Scheduling issues right from the first call with the recruiter. • Required to attend two separate on-site interviews, despite only meeting three people in total across both stages so could have been done in one. This meant taking two half-days of annual leave. • My second interview was confirmed for 10am, but changed to 11am despite me saying it didn’t suit. • First on-site interviewers seemed ill-prepared. • Second-stage interviewers didn’t have many structured questions, didn’t take notes, and I’m unsure how candidates were compared fairly. One interviewer sat with arms crossed for much of the discussion. • Asked the same questions in both interviews, including about a degree I studied 20 years ago. • When I asked the recruiter for advice or guidance to prepare for the second stage, none was provided. • Was told I’d hear the outcome the day after the second stage, but it took nearly a week. Overall: Not a respectful or well-managed candidate experience. The process has left me with a poor impression of the organisation as a whole.
