I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barnardo's (Nottingham, England) in Aug 2019
Interview
Applies online through their own website and received invite to book an interview at the store the vacancy was at. They stated on the vacancy what date interviews were on. Only notified two days before the actual interview. Interview itself was about 45 minutes and was told they let all candidates know either way the following week. That was 3 weeks ago and nothing from them, very unprofessional and if they cannot tell the truth about a simple thing like that then I'm not sure I would want to work for them now anyway!
Appalling, frustrating and chaotic.
I applied online and recieved an email asking me to go to their website to select an interview slot.
When I went to the site it required me to fill in a number of additional forms before allowing me to proceed to select a slot (not a big deal but would have been good to mention).
When I got to the select a slot part of the site there were no interview times uploaded. I emailed to tell them that there were no slots for me to select from.
About 10 days passed before I recieved a reply saying that the interview panel were not available on alternative days to those listed and therefore they would not be proceeding with my application.
Awful recruitment process.
Don't waste your time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Barnardo's in Feb 2018
Interview
Applied online, contacted by Barnardos to attend an interview. The interview was very relaxed and casual, the questions were mainly based on past experiences in previous jobs and how these would apply to a roll in Barnardos.
