I was interviewed a week after applying for a job.
The recruiter asked me questions, but never let me answer in full; instead, they told me their whole life and career story. Interesting approach, to say the least.
Said they will come back to me on the next steps in 3-5 working days. I chased via email next week, yet got a reply over a month later. Got rejected even though my past experience is like-for-like with their JD, including the same industry.
They have reposted this job at least 4 times in the past month.
Suspicious practices and unprofessional behaviour from their side, scared to think of what’s happening in the office.
I applied online. I interviewed at CurrentBody (Manchester, England)
Interview
Classic, three stages : call, video call with the manager, they give you a task and you pitch it in person or online a week later. They were very professional and the offices are WOW, far away from town but very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked if I knew about their products and why I wanted to work there.
I interviewed in person at their HQ in Cheshire and found the panel warm, professional, and genuinely engaging. The process itself felt organised, although communication about the final decision came a few days later than promised (2 weeks).
What left me a little disappointed was what happened afterwards. I had travelled across the country at my own expense for the final interview and later tried to reach out when I noticed the same role had been reposted. Despite my continued interest and polite follow-ups, none of my attempts was met with basic acknowledgment. It felt slightly disheartening, especially after I’d invested effort and enthusiasm in the process.
Overall, it was a valuable experience with a great team, but I think candidates would really appreciate a touch more communication and closure after investing their time and effort to participate.
