I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SO Recycle (Romsey, England) in May 2019
Interview
After applying via Indeed, an invite to an “interview day” was received by email. It was a “come along any time between x and y” situation which I felt was a little odd. I replied advising I’d be able to be with them at some point in a given 30minute window.
I arrived, rang the doorbell. No answer. I waited a few minutes as thought perhaps a receptionist was dealing with something and would come to the door shortly. Nothing. I rang the bell again and a man appeared with someone who he let out the office whilst greeting me. No handshake.
I was lead through to what I assume was a break room. Not offered a seat.
The “interview” was me, standing in front of the business owner answering his questions whilst he mostly looked out the window at the women running by in gym gear.
I was told multiple times that he had seen 60 people that day, 45 of which could do the job so “don’t get your hopes up”.
My CV was nowhere in sight and there was no structure to the “interview” at all, no notes were made and I was asked the same question multiple times despite giving full answers. No questions about why I think I’d be good for this role and no background or extra information on the role given. No opportunity to ask any questions myself.
After about 10mins I was shown out. Not heard anything since.

Thank you for your feedback -that's a pretty bang on description of how our informal chat interviews go, (from a negative persons point of view obviously!).
