      Internal Communications Manager Interview

      Apr 4, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ipswich, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Drax (Ipswich, England) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      A fairly standard competency-based interview that I believed had gone quite well. Told they'd be shortlisting over the next few weeks for a second interview with the Operations Director. That was on February 21st. On March 8th I contacted their HR dept and was told that shortlisting had been delayed because of heavy snow. On March 19th, I wrote to the recruiting manager asking for an update. As of today, April 4th, they haven't even shown the courtesy of responding. It's ironic that this company wishes to engage better with its employees...

      Hi there, Many thanks for posting about your experience. We’ve checked the process and this role had a closing date of Friday 9th February, and was first advertised a week and a half prior to this. We had a significant interest in the position and interviews were conducted week commencing Monday 19th February and the following week. We were scheduled to commence the shortlisting process of the strong set of interviewees however, due to weather conditions and putting the safety of our people first, we made the decision to postpone this process until the following week. All candidates were contacted week commencing Monday 12th March and we left messages with those we were unable to reach, asking them to return our call. From the week we started interviewing to the week we notified candidates of our final decision was 4 weeks in total. Thanks again for the feedback and we hope you are successful in finding a suitable role in the future Haven Power
