Rigorous, but very professional and excellent interviewers. Engaging conversations, and the process had 3 different rounds. First was an online test, followed by an interview, followed by a presentation. I was offered the job but declined due to pay
I applied online. I interviewed at MATCHES in Nov 2022
Interview
Was invited to submit a video assessment / interview answering initial questions about the job and company. Wasn't selected to move on but no feedback provided. Generally the recruiters who reach out don't respond to any emails you send regarding the video recording in case of any questions. Poor communication
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.Tell us a bit about yourself and why you're interested in being an Assistant Buyer at Matchesfashion? 2.What experience do you have in buying that you could bring to the Assistant Buyer role? 3.Can you talk through a project you have managed in your current position and how you over came any problems that you experienced? 4.Have you managed a team, if so, what is your management style? 5.Please describe who you think the target customers are for MATCHESFASHION? 6.Who are MATCHESFASHION's competitors?
Applied for the job and was sent a test. The test had nothing to do with the job and was heavily maths and problem solving based which I don’t believe really captures the crucial skills required for the role. This sort of testing would be more suited to merchandising jobs. There were also personality based questions and attention to detail. The test sent me an immediate email that highlighted my strengths and informed me that I would hear back from Matches on my results. I never heard back about my results which was really disappointing as I was so invested in working at Matches and passionate about the role. Seen loads of reviews about Matches never getting back to candidates following on from interviews so I wasn’t particularly surprised but very disheartened.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear you have not had a positive experience.
Please feel free to email jessica.elphick@matchesfashion.com if you'd like me to look into your application.
Thank so much,
Jess, Talent Team
