      Internal Recruiter Interview

      Mar 2, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Atherstone, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Atherstone, England) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Three stage process, consisting of a prerecorded type interview, an assessment and a final interview with the HR director. The process itself was very one sided, with limited opportunity to discuss the in's and out's of the role with anyone. The questions themselves were not overly difficult, however I appreciate that it was not my best performance and was not surprised to receive a rejection. What I was surprised by though, was the rejection came in the form of an automated email on a Saturday afternoon. I can take an educated guess that your HR team do not work weekends, so it's safe to assume that rather than doing the right thing by calling me to feedback to me, it was easier for someone on the team to schedule my rejection on a weekend in hopes that nothing would come of it. I spent an hour writing my cover letter when applying to the role, I spent half an hour at the first stage, I spent 7 hours putting together my presentation, practicing it with friends, and then spent a further 2 hours on the assessment itself. I then spent a final 30 minutes on my last call. And yet, not a single person in the team can spare 5 minutes to call me and provide feedback to myself? I appreciate my interview was not the strongest by any means, however I must have been shocking because the bar is clearly in gutter when it comes to the HR/Recruitment team at ALDI. Lot's of people at this point in time are experiencing redundancies, and uncertainty, and processes like ALDI's go a long way in kicking people when they're already down. The lack of feedback aside, the few people that I interacted with built no rapport and had a shield up the entire time, making the conversations painful and dull. Off the back of my experience, I have to assume that ALDI's values are purely for show, as they did not match what was experienced. No doubt I will receive a sensibly constructed response from someone on the team, apologising to the fact that they're sorry I have left the process disappointed, when in reality someone should be calling me first thing Monday morning to apologies, as well providing some constructive feedback for me to work with moving forward. Nobody is that busy, and even if you were, it's your job! Disappointing experience from a company I was genuinely so passionate about.
