      Talent Acquisition Specialist Interview

      8 Apr 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at World of Books (London, England) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      Terrible. I had to write up my own notes from the screening call and had to chase for updates from the ‘Head of Talent Acquisition’ at every stage of the process. I reached final stage, task was basically ‘how do you do Talent Acquisition’. I was ghosted by the recruiter and CPO for 2 weeks post final stage despite being told I would be updated during the week of my final interview. Feedback was offered and took a further 3 weeks to be provided, a total of 5 weeks post final interview. WOB talks about values but doesn’t understand them, I felt that I was rinsed for information from the task that was set (I should have withdrawn). They also took references ahead of final stage which is just a bit invasive when they haven’t offered you anything. The feedback was lazy for what is a quite senior role and added zero benefit or insight. They’ve been trying to recruit this role for nearly 12 months now…maybe it’s them.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at World of Books in Nov 2025

      Interview

      A 30 minute conversation which was just not long enough to establish if I was the right fit for the role. Most of the talking was from the interviewer and wouldn't have established suitability for the role in such a short time frame.
