I applied online. I interviewed at VolkerFitzpatrick (Carterton, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
Sift then face to face. It was a very negative experience. Initial interview by HR then I was interviewed by the hiring manager and contract manager. The contract manager did not ask a single question. I was in my late fifties and felt they were very ageist.
The hiring manager asked a few questions but I felt like terminating the interview as I could see it was not going anywhere which I believe was down to my age.
Another good example of a company stating they are diverse but not actually practising what they preach.
Never had any feedback from the interview, not even a thanks but no thanks.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at VolkerFitzpatrick (Nottingham, England) in Jan 2026
Interview
Assessment day, morning half was casual group discussions focussed on your reasoning for choices made within the tasks, interview was a presentation you have to make about yourself and a 10/20min back and forth with interviewers. Extremely unprofessional and unfair conditions as they could not get the board to work therefore I had to present with my laptop facing the interviewers, unable to view or read my slides without looking odd and the second interviewer left half way through, both of which completely threw me off during the interview.
