Was straightforward interview when I had it a few years ago. I enjoyed the conversation I thought it felt like more than a normal interview. Bob was a great manager who I ended up reported too for a few years.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Senator Group (Altham, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
Had a screener with recruitment agency. Scheduled a 1 hour face to face interview 2 weeks later at short notice, had a 30 minute informal chat with the hiring director. Feedback given to the agency the same day that they wanted a more commercial candidate. Suit wasn't required at least for a first stage. Asked about bonus and told there wasn't one - but apparently there is a company bonus.
Quite thorough. If you do some research you’re okay. Lasted around 45 minutes. Shown round the factory which was nice. Heard back around a day later and accepted the job
