Bromford Interview Questions

Bromford called me asking me to attend a video interview and before I did that, to just do a maths quiz and upload a photograph of myself with me describing the type of person I am. I had to rearrange my interview at first due to having to work my then current role. (Which is always a difficult situation to be in when looking for new work) I emailed Bromford in Wolverhampton and they were speedy and helpful with rescheduling. Unfortunately I then had to withdraw my application due to accepting another job offer. I was really interested in Bromford and would definitely look at applying in future. I wanted to leave this review to just touch on the fact that from the first telephone call from Bromford they were very friendly and easy to talk to. The few emails regarding the interview and then me withdrawing from the interview were lovely. They were really understanding and wished me the best for the future. It was then the following day when talking with a friend that she explained she used to work for Bromford and had nothing but wonderful things to say about the company.

Quite a simple interview, normal questions asked e.g experience, what would you do if …. , spoke about company benefits and their DNA. This was all done via teams due to Covid-19.

2 stage interview- 1st was a phone call 2nd was face to face interview phone call took approximately 30 mins - face to face took over an hour 30 mins Bromford made an offer at the same day.

I applied for the role online and received an email confirmation that my application had been received. Within 5 days I had a call to arrange an interview date, I attended the offices in Wolverhampton within 10 days from my application. The interview was informal where they made me feel relaxed and I found the process to be fun and informative, I felt it was somewhere I would enjoy being employed.

Very robust recruitment process. Screening calls, psychology test, three interviews and included a 10 minute presentation only to be advised that I was the preferred candidate but they had then decided not to appoint.

The general process for a job application is quite a simple one: Application Interview Job offer/Refusal. However i was very perplexed and confused by the extravagant process in which Bromford carry out the interview process. The application process was as follows: Stage 1 - Online application which included 3 extra questions requiring specific answers detailing certain competencies. Stage 2 - 'Pre-Interview' interview consisting of a 30 minute phone call explaining the position and in which i had to 'sell myself' to get an interview. Stage 3 - Online psychometric testing. Stage 4 - Face to face online interview with a 2 person panel including a written test and navigation on the Bromford website. Needless to say i withdrew my application after stage 2, as i found the situation quite bizarre considering the position i applied for was essentially an entry level job, paying slightly above minimum wage. I have nothing bad to say against the company itself, just the interview process seemed way over the top. They say things happen for a reason, and im glad i turned down the interview, as i have now been offered a similar position with a different company offering a more reasonable financial package.
