I applied online. I interviewed at Midland Heart (Birmingham, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Online application - Recorded Interview (2 questions) - Assessment Centre (3 days of roughly 30-40 candidates per day) - 1 on 1 interview - Offer
Assessment Centre review
- Mediocre assessment centre design
- Promised feedback and never gave it despite repeated requests
- Tasks themselves did not provide an opportunity to demonstrate role specific competencies
- Assessment tasks were abstract assessment of communication and skill; allowed significant assessor bias due to a lack of standardisation
- No breaks were given between 3 tasks, which occurred back to back
- Minimal engagement with directors and other employees outwith the assessments
- Were told there would be an opportunity to talk to employees but that did not happen

I interviewed at Midland Heart (Birmingham, England)
Interview
Assessment centre- was very well run and all the staff made candidates feel comfortable! There were three activities, lots of breaks and opportunities to ask questions. Spoke to other candidates and they all shared the same opinion that the event was run well.
