The process started off well, communication was quick, and the initial recruitment contact was friendly and professional. The interview itself was formal and focused on scenario-based questions. I was told that a decision would be made the same day once all interviews were completed. However, after three weeks and two follow-ups, I finally received a brief email stating that another candidate had been selected, with no feedback provided. I requested feedback, but once again received no response. It’s disappointing, especially considering the time and effort candidates invest in preparing for and attending interviews, and the high regard many people have for Rolls Royce. Unfortunately, the recruitment agency’s lack of communication reflects poorly on the company, as timely and transparent communication goes a long way even when the outcome isn’t favourable.

Assessment center inclusive of interview and presentation. Whole day event, very well thought out and organised. Intense day but important for them to find the right people. Good venue used for the day and easy to get to and find. All people interviewing and presenting to were very welcoming and kind.

Meet with the hiring manager, procurement manager, and 1-2 buyers holding the same position you will interview for. 1 hour interview. First 5 min are introductions. Next 10-15 are overview of the role. Next 30 minutes are actual interview questions. Final minutes will be for questions. I recommend asking the buyers any questions directly, as they will have the best insight to your daily role.
