Interview
The interview process with rentokil initial was a really positive experience.
It began with my phone interview with Matthew Smyth which ensured I knew the job role and advised the whole interview process in detail which instantly eased any interview nerves, whilst also asking a few interview questions to learn more about myself and my previous experience and knowledge.
My first google meet interview was with HR Advisor Emily and Donna Rodney the HR Manager, who both instantly put me at ease, explained the job role in detail and asked me the interview questions, to ensure I was the right candidate for the role and to ensure the role was for me also.
I then had a second interview with Donna Rodney and HR Manager Andy Stephens where further interview questions were asked and again I was made to feel really comfortable.
Matthew, Emily, Donna and Andy were all extremely professional and really friendly throughout the whole process, with Matthew calling me throughout to provide any updates regarding the position.
The interview process was the most positive and friendly I have been involved in and only increased my interest to work for rentokil initial.
