I applied online. I interviewed at Cpl Resources (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2026
Interview
I have applied for a Recruiter position here multiple times. I am an HR MBA student with over 6 years of experience in healthcare.
A female recruiter called me and asked why I wanted the job. Then she started scolding me unnecessarily, saying my skills weren't enough, asking intrusive questions about my job changes, salary, and contract details. Some questions didn't even make sense. I stayed polite and answered.
She then told me my English wasn't good enough and that I wasn't suitable for the role. But then she said she actually called me because she is looking for a caregiver for her mother. She offered me 20 euros per hour and said she was worried after speaking with me.
I was shocked and hung up. This is highly unprofessional and a complete waste of a candidate's time. Using a job interview to offer private caregiving work is absolutely unacceptable.
Highly professional and clear objectives, process was clear and easy to navigate. Did go through a recruiter for this and they did well too. Recommended for anyone especially at entry levl.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Focus on business development, how is it approached.
Bit like an interigation felt judged, instant vibe that we wouldn't be a good fit. Might suit some people. Nice offices. No set questions and not sure they had a process.
