I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Gateshead, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
initial online assessment, consisting of expected questions and situational judgement test (altogether took around 30 - 45 mins). Once successful you are then invited to a group assessment, then if successful further you are then invited to a one-to-one assessment. As mentioned by someone earlier this whole process does seem like a lottery. And it is infuriating to be invited back twice to then be told that you haven't been successful. Waste of time and travel. Area manager conducted both the group assessment and 1:1 and seemed perfectly fine, but it did seem that if you weren't available 24/7 then you simply weren't getting the job. Frustrating and annoying and certainly wont be applying for them again. This process only seems worth it if you're desperate for a job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
one-to-one assessment consisted of asking more about me and availability rather than the asking about the job itself.
Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
It is an online interview section where you are asked a question then you record and send. Best you use an iPhone you can several times and send the best
