I had an interview which I thought went well and was told I'd hear back in 3 days. When I didn't hear anything for a week, I sent a follow-up email. Never heard anything again. Waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked if I owned the flat I currently lived in and seemed to try to gage whether I was married or single which felt uncomfortable
I applied online. I interviewed at CR Smith (Dunfermline, Scotland) in Jun 2025
Interview
I had an initial 30 minute in person meeting with the Recruitment Manager, followed by another interview with the Head of marketing. I was asked to talk through my experience and was told a bit more about the role and company.
After the interview, I sent a thank you email. I followed up week later but received no reply to either emails. I found it quite unprofessional to ghost a candidate who has taken the time to attend an in person interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at CR Smith (Dunfermline, Scotland) in Oct 2023
Interview
Chaotic and poorly managed, happy to waste your time.
Multiple interviews scheduled, interviewer was changed at last moment both times.
Interviewer always seemed to need to be somewhere else during interviews, seemed more like a sales pitch to sell products than a meaningful attempt to find a suitable candidate.
Had an in house recruiter and complained of a stagnant pool of candidates available which I found strange.

Question 1
We advertised this figure as a salary but think we will start you on less than that then it give’s you something to work up to, what do you think?
