I applied online. I interviewed at Amplius (Boston, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
I interviewed for an administrative role and was told clearly during the interview that I would hear back the next day. The interview itself felt somewhat professional, so this set an expectation of timely communication.
However, no update was provided for several days, and I eventually received only an automated rejection email with no feedback or explanation. The lack of communication after explicitly stating a next-day response was frustrating and felt disrespectful of candidates’ time and effort.
While rejections are part of any hiring process, failing to keep candidates informed after setting a clear timeline reflects poorly on the overall recruitment experience. More transparent and considerate communication would significantly improve how candidates are treated.
Avoid.

First and second interview held via teams. First interview was informal and allowed an opportunity for natural discussion with the hiring manager. 2nd interview involved line manager and head of service. All a very positive experience.
