I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at AMS (London, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
Initial communication was good but you are passed to so many different people. There is no consistency in their interview processes. I was told my second interview would be an informal chat with the client when it wasn't, it was very much an in depth competency interview.
I was told that there wasn't emphasise on recruiting in other countries but when I was in the interview it was clear that was the key thing they were looking for.
If you get put forward for a different account you have to interview again. They don't seem to be able to just pass feedback to different hiring Managers.
The whole process is disjointed, inconsistent and off-putting

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AMS in Nov 2024
Interview
I interviewed for the Senior Recruiter role and was left waiting for feedback well past the promised timeline. Despite following up, I was completely ghosted. For a company that claims to lead in recruitment, their handling of candidates is shockingly unprofessional. If you value your time and effort, look elsewhere.
