      Home Manager Interview

      16 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Manchester, England
      Declined offer

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HC-One (Manchester, England) in May 2018

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They never asked about my previous experience or recent employment. Had a set of questions not relevant to a management level. Far too basic over and done with within 20 minutes. Inexperienced interviewees who simply read from a script. If this was the level of quality of an interview for a management level it now makes sense that they seem to not be able to retain their staff and have a high turnover. More thought and time given to the interview and selection process by enabling trained competent people to carry it out if it was more stringent would help to get the right people for the job and retain them. I got offered the job but declined it as the interview was the worse I have ever had in my career it felt they were just desperate to get someone in post rather than make the interview more thought provoking and not just asking closed questions. I read the poor reviews on here beforehand but went to make my own judgement. I wasted my time this was my first introduction to HC ONE and it was extremely poor. If management level entry have such a poor quick reading from a script interview to make a decision then I seriously question the Calibre of carers they are recruiting having gone through the process was offered the job based on my answers to such easy typical questions that if you had even worked in care for a week could have answered if effort can't be put into the selection process then it was clear the company does not invest time or effort into any of its staff at any level.

      Anonymous employee
      Goole, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HC-One (Goole, England) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      Put at ease, the interview panel were very friendly. The interview was Very thorough, encouraged to explore my strengths and weaknesses honestly. I was asked to give a condensed life history and asked about outside interests. My work history was discussed and qualifications that I held at the time. The interview consisted of a paper-based competency test and then a walk-round the home to observe how I interacted with residents, staff, visitors, etc. I also had to have a 1:1 phone interview.
