Zest (UK) interview questions

I had my initial call with the in-house recruiter, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. I was even invited to the first stage interview, which I was quite excited about. They asked me to prepare a presentation, which I found to be a great way to showcase my skills. However, I encountered a rather disappointing situation. Just a day before my scheduled interview, I received a call from HR at 6 pm notifying me that it had been canceled. The reason given was that they preferred someone who lived closer to the business location. It was disheartening because I had clearly applied for the position knowing where the company was based. It felt unprofessional and left me questioning their recruitment process.

A teams interview lastly around a hour with STAR based questions and some info around what the company aims are. There was no second stage interview, if successful they contact your after completing all their interviews
