      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Chapman Black (London, England) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      Telephone interview followed by a face to face interview at the office. Very unorganised they were literally asking anyone in the office to speak to me. I had about 5 interviews back to back, 3/5 were really rude and uninterested. One of the questions asked were 'don't you think you're too smart to be here' which i found really unnecessary.

      Hi there, Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear the interview didn't suit, I can assure you we are very selective on who we ask to do interviews, managers are clear who in their teams who will do interviews, also we have 4 divisions and we ensure each division has an opinion on each candidate. We also want the interviewee to have a fair cross section of our business. We also challenge people on why they are here and if they really are right for recruitment, most people we hire are graduates and it is important we qualify if they are making the right choices as we want people to stay for a long time. I hope this goes some way to explain the interview process. All the best in your career. Best Regards Richard Blackburn Co-Founder

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Chapman Black (London, England) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      One telephone interview, followed by a face to face with a senior consultant and a higher level manager. Then after another interview involving phoning clients. The overall process was handled pretty professionally. There were times when it could have been better if communication was kept up.

      Application

      The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Chapman Black in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Fast process. They called me in three times for three interviews. Was done rather fast. However didn’t get the role due to lack of experience. Was interviewed by three people. Two of which were very nice but one was rather harsh. Seems like a very nice environment to work in.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chapman Black (London, England) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      I met with 3 different sale consultants in my first interview, they asked lots of personal questions to get to know me, they quizzed me about my sales ability. I found everyone in the company very hospitable . The 2nd interview - I met with 3 sales managers who grilled me on my past sales experience with some recruitment role plays. I must admit I was caught off guard and struggled to sell my watch! The final - I came in for a 2 hour trial where I sat on the phone calling candidates on the database and met with the MD. The internal recruiter kept me up to date through the whole process and was the interview process was well organised and transparent. From receiving the verbal offer, the contract took 24 hours to arrive via email I did think the background check was a bit serious for a job in recruitment
