      Client Associate Interview

      13 Feb 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Bradford, Yorkshire and the Humber, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SMG (Bradford, Yorkshire and the Humber, England) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      It was quite a lengthy process with 4 stages which were quite spread out. You have an initial call with the recruiter, the next stage is an interview with 2 people (usually managers) and then I had a 3rd stage with 2 Directors, and finally a meet and greet at the head office. Overall it was quite enjoyable meeting so many people at the business, and hearing everyone's opinions on the company

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked where you see yourself in 5 years, and how much you knew about the industry (retail media). I think the answer to both these questions were important for landing the role

      Client Associate Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at SMG (Leeds, South East England, England) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      4 stages of interview for a minimum wage role can be interesting. The first 2 stage interviews with HR and 2 client managers were smooth and great conversations. The third stage, a scenario task, which is fun but the interviewer seem really bored about the process

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of interviewing with us. We’re pleased to hear that your first two stages - with HR and the client managers - felt smooth and conversational. We aim to make interviews feel like a two-way discussion, so it’s good to know that came through. We also appreciate your honest feedback on the process overall. Our intention with a multi-stage interview - including the scenario task – is to give candidates a fair opportunity to demonstrate how they think and approach real client situations, not to make the process feel overly heavy. That said, we hear your point. Four stages can feel like a lot, particularly at entry level, and we’re always reviewing how to strike the right balance between thorough and proportionate. We’re sorry to read that the experience during the task itself didn’t feel as engaging as it should have. Every stage should feel professional, focused and respectful of your time. We’ll take that feedback on board. We appreciate you putting the time and effort into your application, and we wish you all the very best in your next steps.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SMG (Manchester, England) in Nov 2024

      Interview

      It was really great and smooth! Emilia was very helpful throughout the whole process. The first stage was a 30 min conversation with 2 interviewers, then the second stage was a case study. The interviewers were quite nice as well :))
