Audley Travel Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Audley Travel (Boston, MA (US)) in March 2019.

Interview

I applied online on Audley's career website. I described why I wanted the role, where i have traveled (when, for how long), and my experience.

After a few weeks I heard back and did an online interview. Questions flashed across the screen and I was video recorded and answered them.

Then I was asked to come into the office and interview! Everyone was super nice, I was a bit lost and didn't know where to go and I had so many people come up to me and offer to show me the way to where I needed to be! Interview was awesome, then they showed me around the office!

Interview

Laid back but they waste your time. When I asked if there’s anything about my background that concerns them regarding the position, such as lack of sales experience, they said no your resume looks great. Then they didn’t make an offer stating I didn’t have the experience they were looking for. Why bother with interviewing me then when they could see that from the resume?

Interview

I found the interview process extremely unprofessional and draining. They demanded I meet their rigid times on a short notice schedule, and when I rearranged my plans to do so, they told me the spot had been given to another candidate. Finally, we rearranged time to meet. The interview was insanely interrogative. It is essentially 2 hours back to back questioning and grilling - it wasn’t conversational at all. I was extremely uncomfortable throughout it. Interviewers came off as dismissive, disinterested and didn’t strike me as people I would want to work for. I wish I could get back 2 hours of my life I spent here.

Interview

I was offered the position. I was meant to start in two weeks from today. Audley rescinded the offer within days of my leaving my previous position to come work for them. They got cold feet about scheduling my FAM trip and cancelled everything when they didn't immediately hear back from me regarding a coordination question. I am now unemployed and on medicaid until I find a new job. DO NOT APPLY HERE.

Interview

I was SO EXCITED to interview for this job! I am absolutely perfect for the job, the job is perfect for me, and I am very disappointed in the interview process. First, I filled out an online online application followed by a little personality test. That was followed by a video recorded interview that was one sided (questions were posed and I recorded myself answering). Finally, I had a phone interview that I thought went very well; I thought that I connected well with the hiring rep, and he said I would hear back from them in the next week with an invitation to an in-person interview or notice that I was not selected. Well, it has now been more than four months and I have not heard anything. Even after sending a follow up email a month after the phone interview, I had radio silence. I was thrilled to be considered by Audley, but to be treated in that way as an applicant by a company with such a wonderful reputation is disappointing and unacceptable. And not only did the company lose an interested employee candidate, it lost a potential future customer.

Interview

first you submit short video clips of yourself responding to different questions: why you want to work there, most memorable experience in the country you're applied for, useful skills in role, what excites you about sales, describe a goal and how you achieved it, talk about experience. This then transitions into an online quiz to access your personality.
From there, a HR rep will reach out to you for an informal call. This is mostly an opportunity to ask questions. They will then setup an official in-person interview with the hiring team. It should last about a hour. I was surprised by how informally they dressed at the office and for an interview. Some of the questions asked were: tell us about what you'd suggest to someone for your country (that they couldn't find on internet - & what they should do while there), sell them on something (can be anything), talk about specific goals and how you achieved them (or if you have any metrics), how you would work with a challenging customer, how would you go above & beyond for your customers, etc.

Be confident and be organized! those are probably the best qualities to have to succeed with them. You also should talk specifically about your travel to whichever country you have elected. I don't think it's likely you'll be hired if you haven't been there before. Demonstrate your passion for sales more so than your passion for traveling.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Audley Travel (Boston, MA (US)) in August 2019.

Interview

I started the process in June, had a phone screen and video interview (answering pre recorded questions, not a person) in fairly quick succession. After that, things broke down.

I was told that the company only on-boards new hires once a month, so July wouldn't work for me due to an out of town wedding and to reach back out. When I reached back out, the recruiter/ trainer was on vacation with no out of office contact, and by the time he got back to me (after a second e mail), we were past the point of feasibility for an August start date. We set up an interview for mid August with a potential September start date. I re confirm the interview within a week of it, receive confirmation, only to be e mailed at 9 PM the night before that it couldn't happen. The recruiter claimed that it was due to vacations and illness, but that felt hollow to me, since vacations would have been scheduled well in advance and the night before was too early to know that people would be out sick. The interview eventually happened the next business day, and even then, the interviewer didn't even know that I was a referral, despite having this in my cover letter and telling the recruiter multiple times

Interview

Video recording interview initially had to answer 5 questions and provide a 90 second response to each. Then, phone interview with HR representative lasted maybe 15 minutes. Then, invited into office for in person interview with hiring manager and HR representative. Interview itself lasted about an hour and a half. Never got an offer, even though was told I'd hear the week after the interview. E-mailed HR to ask if a decision was made one way or the other and got no response. I didn't expect an offer, but would have appreciated a response telling me they were not going to hire me, because making me wait and never responding is a waste of time.

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Audley Travel (Boston, MA (US)) in March 2019.

Interview

The interview process was pretty straight forward. I applied for the role through a staffing agency and I was contact via email for an interview. The Head of Recruitment did an initial phone screen with me and then I continued on to an in person interview, where I met him via Skype and did a tour of the office with an existing team member.

Interview

Waste of time, they lie your face. She said she would let me know by Monday. Wednesday I emailed to check in, never heard back that week. It's fine to go in another direction, but after an in person interview, I would just think in a hospitality business if they say they will tell you then they should. Seems like a great company, but terrible management.
