I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Dudley, England) in Aug 2014
Interview
Saw a new store was opening locally so applied online, nothing out of the ordinary just your standard online forms to fill out.
After more than a month I received a phone call from someone in the HR department of the regional offices. Had a 20 minute chat with general customer focused questions. Told to check my emails to see if I was successful.
Next part of the process court me by surprise, I received a phone call from the area manager asking where I was, strangely he was expecting me for an interview despite no notification from Lidl themselves. Thankfully he agreed to see me the following day at one of his local stores.
The interview consisted of 10 - 20 questions focused on customer service and task management. I answered confidently and I left happy with my effort. Later that day he contacted me to say he'd like to see me again, this time at a different store location.
I met him at a second store and was given a tour, and asked to complete a couple of small tasks, merchandise a couple of items and then display simple stock taking skills ie counting units. The whole process took 20 minutes at the end of which I was offered a position With Lidl UK.

Question 1
Given an example of how Lidl UK complete a stock take, I had to count a bay of stock correctly.
Asked about availability as I was a university student, gave me a scenario of situations happening in store and asked how I would priority each one, asked what my favourite Lidl item was
I interviewed at Lidl (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
Took 10 mins interview with a manager and a supervisor. Basic questions however really stressful but overall good experience not hard questions just very particular. Employees all seemed nice. Was told I’d receive a call within a week if I was accepted however didn’t receive one so
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Novi Sad) in Apr 2026
Interview
My experience with this company was very poor.
I initially applied for a position and was contacted by phone to confirm my interest. After that, an interview was scheduled, which I confirmed and attended as agreed.
However, after some time, I received an email stating that I did not attend the interview and that my application was considered withdrawn — which is simply not true, as I was present and completed the interview.
I reached out to clarify the situation and had to wait almost a week for them to investigate what should have been a simple mistake. When they finally responded, I was informed that I was not selected for a sales position in a city I never applied for.
They apologized and explained it was a system error — but at that point, there had already been two major system errors during my application process.
Overall, this was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience with a company that presents itself as organized and a desirable employer. Unfortunately, my experience showed the opposite.
