Condutor (Talent Pool) Interview
Anonymous Employee in United KingdomNo OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult InterviewApplicationI applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Great Western Railway (United Kingdom) in Sep 2021
Interview
Long and tricky application process which consists of initial application, then an enhanced online test then if you pass this 4 more online tests including maths, ticket checking, following rules and symbol checking attention test. You aren't told if you pass them, communication is poor. You get sporadic emails inviting you to complete yet a other online test. If you fail one then they don't proceed with your application. So you could be the perfect person for the job but because you fail one test you don't even get an interview. Some IT savvy people will pass all tests but could be the complete wrong person for the job. Seems a bit of an odd system of recruiting. If it was a drivers role I'd understand all the tests but it wasn't.InterviewWhat has made you apply for this role?
