      Not Even Sure Interview

      3 July 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bristol, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ForrestBrown (Bristol, England)

      Interview

      Applied on the website directly for a specific role and then got an email from them to say that I might be better suited for a different role they had in mind and could they talk to me about it, I said yes. Arranging the interview was quite easy, although not much information about what sort of questions I would be asked, but they did specify that this would be the first of two interviews if they liked me. I arrived before the interview time, my interviewer wasn't in the office yet. Interview was conducted in an extremely hot room with no air con and it was a 30 degree humid day. I was so hot that I was perspiring and also could hardly think to answer the questions. Also, there was someone else in my interview and I didn't know who they were or why they were there, this was off-putting. I like to know in advance what will be required for the interview and who will be there. It felt very disorganized and last minute, as it was mentioned that they did have other rooms but that they were all in use. I was under the impression that the interview would be more of an informal chat, but it wasnt. The questions they were asking were mostly standard interview questions, that I wasn't prepared for as I didn't know in advance. I also didn't know the job title for the role and assumed they would tell me at the start of the interview, they didn't, I still don't know it. I did not get good vibes from the interview and knew that I didn't want to work there as soon as I left. It was casually mentioned that they would be in touch at the end of the week, but they never contacted me at all! Literally, the worst thing you can do as an employer in the recruitment process and does not portray the company in a good light.

      Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I am sorry that your interview experience at ForrestBrown did not reflect our usual high standards. As you mentioned in your post, it was an exceptionally hot day when you visited us. We had installed extra cooling machines around the office, but they were struggling to keep up in such warm weather. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and your feedback will help us to do so. In fact, we have already amended what we send candidates inviting them to interview to set expectations more clearly. We aim to give candidates timely feedback following an interview and are sorry we were not able to do so as quickly as we said. If you would like to discuss your feedback in further detail, please do email me directly at careers@forrestbrown.co.uk. Thank you again for your feedback – Sarah Rogers, Talent Acquisition Manager.
