Bakkavor

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Harrow on the Hill, England

Negative Experience
Average Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Bakkavor (Harrow on the Hill, England)

Interview

The interview process was very disappointing. The interviewers were jokingly discussing why I had mentioned so many quantifiable values on my resume. They continuously questioned me about the details I had included on my CV and asked for justifications. Furthermore, the company did not follow up after the interview. It has been over two weeks, and they have not responded to my calls or emails. While I understand that this indicates they won't be proceeding with my application, they should still respond to my calls. The company's interviewers seemed very arrogant, and overall, the hiring process was quite unprofessional.

You talk to HR, go through basic induction and get a free cheesecake. Induction is basic food safety stuff and tests which are fairly easy. Even if you didn't speak a lick of English you still get in.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
