Had an initial call with the recruitment consultant, went well and said I would hear back the following week.. has been ages now and ignored even since sending a follow up. Very rude.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at ZOEVA (London, England) in July 2025
Interview
Undertook the first interview, despite a fairly in-depth call, there was no follow up. Appreciate the recruitment process can be lengthy but it's disheartening to prep for a call, attend and receive absolute silence afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Specific questions to the role. All round usual interview (back ground, why i applied, specific marketing Qs) however the final question was a bit odd and "what makes you stick out from other candidates i'll interview' - it was also came after i'd questions about the business/role.
I only had an interview with an HR representative, where she briefly talked about the company, listened to my experience, and then mentioned they’d be in touch—without giving me a chance to ask any questions about the company at all. It felt as though candidates are expected to hope for a position there without the right to assess the company themselves. Even if something in my responses didn’t meet their criteria, this approach came across as impolite and dismissive.

Question 1
‘Why should we choose you?’ which came across as a one-sided expectation that candidates should prove their worth without being given the same opportunity to evaluate the company
