The hiring process at Barrington Centre takes an average of 28 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Events Assistant had the quickest hiring process (on average 28 days), whereas Events Assistant roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 28 days).
Was expected to complete a 60 day plan as part of second-round interview, and present it to a panel of 5. After this interview I was told there would be a decision made and I would be notified by end of the week. Instead I received a call from the recruiter saying that they were unsure and could I submit a new document detailing my strategy for 'becoming self-sufficient by the end of two weeks'. Once I realised they were after more free work from me and were putting the onus fully on me for success with no forthcoming support from the team I chose to remove myself from the interview process.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barrington Centre (Brisbane) in Feb 2023
Interview
Terrible - late to interview by 21 minutes even though they stressed that it is particulary important to be ON TIME Rude interviewer, speaks to you like you are sub-human Pay advertised is lower than what is discussed during interview Salaried role so no OT expected (but they let it slip that people will work more than 45+ hours for meagre pay)
