      HR Business Partner Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Penguin Random House

      Interview

      I had two interviews - one via Teams and one face-to-face. The first interview lasted 50 minutes and I was invited to a final interview at the PRH offices, London. This involved a task which took me a day to prepare. The interview started late, which wasn’t a problem, and lasted nearly two hours. I was told that I was down to the final three candidates and that I’d hear the outcome within a week. Two weeks later, I was informed via email that I had been unsuccessful and it stated that, if I had any questions, to let them know. I asked whether I could have some feedback (either by phone or email) to help me moving forwards but received no reply. I found this disappointing, given the number of hours I had spent preparing and how far I had got in the process. It has negatively impacted how I view the brand which, before I applied for a role, I had a high opinion of.
