Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed about your recent recruitment experience. I have passed your comments on to our recruitment team as we constantly try to improve how we recruit our people and the processes that we follow.
I am very sorry that you experienced a delay in receiving feedback to let you know that you had ultimately been unsuccessful after your interview – this is not the normal response time we strive for and I will take steps to ensure that this does not happen in future.
Although there is always, of course, room for improvement, we have found that our interview and test process for Customer Services roles is very effective and it is through this that we have reliably sourced many excellent candidates who have gone on to build long term careers here. This is why we do ask questions relating to interest to take on new activities outside of the core job role. Of course, not wishing to do this is not be a barrier to being offered employment with us, however, it does help us select people who are interested in building a long-term career at CIPD, starting in our Customer Services team and moving on to other areas of the business. Indeed, many of our people have done this and enjoy very successful, varied careers at the CIPD.
Thank you again for your feedback and I wish you every success in your future career.
