Xero interview questions

Initial group interview with 7 other candidates vying for the same or similar roles. Consisted of a 1-on-1 role play, group activity where we were split into teams and tasked with coming up with a solution to a problem, a reading and comprehension test and finally a 1-on-1 interview. This was followed by a 2-on-1 interview with Senior members of the CX team.

Had a telephone interview with a member of the HR team. I explained I had a 4 week notice period and at the time they were looking for a group of people to start in around 6 weeks. The interview went really well and I was promised a call back the following day to arrange a 2nd interview so as to be able to fit in with the start date and my notice period. Not only did I not receive a call the next day but I had to follow up with them to find out what was happening. By the time they responded it was too late for me to have been able to work my notice and start when they needed me to. So my application was not progressed. I was very disappointment. Not only because it’s frustrating having someone promise they would call back on a certain day and then not follow through. But also because I was so excited at the thought of working for such a dynamic company. I did not post this feedback at the time of the interview, as I had been promised that should they be recruiting in the future they would contact me and I did not want to burn my bridges. However I have recently seen more advertisements for the same role online. I would have preferred that if they were not interested in me as a candidate that they just say so, perhaps offering some constructive feedback on where I could improve.
