I went through the full interview process for a Commercial Manager role at No7 Beauty Company and was offered the position. The HR team was very pushy about getting me to accept quickly, and once I did, the offer was withdrawn less than 24 hours later.
When I asked for an explanation, they offered to “hop on a quick call.” During that call, the HR Director was dismissive and unprofessional, telling me the offer was rescinded because I had spoken with a current employee to learn more about the company before joining — apparently, this was “not the standard they were looking for.”
This response was both shocking and disappointing, especially after a long interview process and an accepted offer. It reflects extremely poor candidate treatment and questionable internal communication.
Overall, I would strongly caution anyone considering a role here to take note of how unstable and unprofessional their hiring process can be. Transparency and respect for candidates seem to be entirely lacking.
