I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ALDI (Barnsley, Yorkshire and the Humber, England) in Oct 2015
Interview
Application Form, Online Tests, Video Interview, Group Assessment, Final interview with Regional MD. Group Assessment easier and quicker than I thought - Group task, Individual presentation, Group discussion. Final Interview - Ask about your life, other general interview questions. I was sent an automated email two days later saying i was unsuccessful and no feedback was available which i thought was unfair considering the process took nearly three months and took a lot of my time and money travelling to and from the regional office. My friend who had an interview the same day was offered the job then and there so I assumed I had been unsuccessful before I got the email.
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Neston, Cheshire, North West England, England) in Dec 2023
Interview
Application was straight forward
Video interview was around 6 questions with one minute to think and one minute to record
Online test were easier than most jobs on Penn resources- numerical, reading and pattern.
Assessment Centre was two hours we discussed a topic for our store walk: Competitor analysis, branding and merchandise, Corporate social responsibility. Then we were given 4 CVs to read and select the best one based off skills, location, feedback.
then I had the final interview: CV screening, I was asked who were therein stakeholders in my life, how I would deal with demands of the job ect

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
Overly lengthy application process. They are looking for a very particular individual regardless of technical experience or capability. If you have a group of people that are not particularly capable, It is almost impossible to do the group exercise properly without coming across as overbearing.
