Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Secret Escapes (London, England) in Oct 2023

Interview

I was put forward for this position by a recruitment agency. The organisation then took 3 weeks to schedule my first interview. This interview was with the Recruitment Team Manager, who basically spoke at me for 45 minutes. The position sounded like a great match for my skills and experience, therefore I was perplexed (as was my recruiter) as to why I didn't receive an invitation for a second interview. This was compounded by the questionable feedback I received, which had nothing to do with my skills or the questions I had answered during the interview - the feedback I was given was that the manager thought I would be "potentially too quiet and polite" for the position. This makes me wonder if they expected me to butt in and interrupt during the interview to speak - if so, then I highly question this interview style.

Man musste drei Gespräche durchlaufen, um ein Jobangebot zu erhalten. Professionell und sehr sympathisch. Es gab verschiedenste Rollenspiele, zu denen man sich mit Zahlen und Fakten auseinandersetzen sollte. Hat Spaß gemacht.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Secret Escapes (Enfield, England) in Apr 2023

Interview

After the second interview where I presented a prepared task and presentation, I recieved no feedback about the presentation, nor if I had the job or not. I had to chase them up after 2 weeks. Very unprofessional to behave like this after a final stage interview.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Secret Escapes (London, England) in Aug 2022

Interview

Offer retracted once I had accepted as role wasn't business critical. First interview was a 30 minute chat. Second interview was 75 minutes where once they had sent me plenty of data, I highlighted trends, and presented my insights, explanations, and recommendations. When the offer was made there was key information missing such has holiday entitlement, what destinations I would manage, how the bonus is awarded, and pension contribution. Secret Escapes were some £20-25k below the market rate for someone with my expertise and experience. Maybe low pay across the business leads to poor decision making, and explains the unprofessionalism Secret Escapes have shown. When reviewing the salary, you offered I swallowed my pride, and tried to look at the bigger picture. It wasn’t just about the money I can earn now, but also about me finding the right platform to work my way to the very top of an organisation. Shortly before accepting your offer, I had turned down a role paying more money. After our call yesterday I got back in touch with this company, only to discover this position has now been filled. You’ve not just wasted my time, but I’ve now lost out on two opportunities, and remain unemployed, at a time when everything is increasing in cost. My wage had already been budget for by senior managers and your finance department. Given the progress made and the fact I had accepted your offer, I firmly believe it is an injustice upon me that you haven’t honoured the offer you made to me. It’s very entitled of Secret Escapes to think they can mess people around like this. I can only assume the way you have treated me is an indication as to how poorly you treat your staff. It’s frustrating and financially costly to me now, but in time I’m sure I will look back on this encounter and consider it a lucky escape, from secret escapes. Can I suggest you immediately take those non-critical roles off LinkedIn, before you waste anyone else’s time. Unless of course this is just common practise for SE.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Secret Escapes (London, England) in Jul 2022

Interview

Had an initial 30 min interview with the head of the Analyst team, who was friendly and easy to talk to. Felt more like a conversation where I was walked through the structure of the team. Didn't hear back until two weeks later when they emailed to say "the role had gone on hold for the foreseeable future", but that they'd "love to continue the process with me" if it arose again. I replied asking for specific feedback on my application and interview and got no response.

Senior Graphic Designer

Hello all- I have a question. Context: I've completed a four-stage interview process for a design position at a large retail corp. The final interview on Nov 15 went very well! I sent thank-you notes that week and last holiday week sent flowers and an edible arrangement, thanking and asking about next steps. They said they have been busy + will reach out soon. It's almost been two weeks. They have been so eager the entire process and now it's quiet. Should I email them again? Is this normal?

Analyst

For anyone who has ever gone through an interview process, only to be told at the end that the role is on hold (due to budget review or such) have you ever actually gotten reached out again with an update? It happened to me today so just wanting to see if it makes sense to just treat this as a rejection even if i was told there might be an update.

I have a curious question to ask. I'm working on a way to help people do better at their job interviews.  What would you say is the hardest part about taking a job interview? And what can make the experience easier?
