I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Furniture Ombudsman (Stevenage, England) in Jul 2018
Interview
An opportunity for management who didn’t quite cut it in a more prestigious field of law, to bully and berate young people starting out their careers. They attempt to mimic techniques used in magic/silver circle city law firms, that are known to be highly successful when screening candidates. Unfortunately - not only is this highly embarrassing when you’re sat interviewing on a single floor of a run down 3 story office block, on the outskirts of London - but these people haven’t quite grasped the difference between a professional grilling and a highly inappropriate inquisition. Some employees where questioned on information found about them online by the managing director, including; the death of family members, rape, and other traumatic experiences which have no relevance to an interview for an office job.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Furniture Ombudsman in Aug 2018
Interview
I came through a recruitment agency. Straightforward interview with a mix of questions to settle the interviewee in as well as some challenging questions but nothing too difficult. Some CV based questions. Panel of 3; CEO and 2 managers who were professional and friendly. I found out the result on the day which was positive.
