I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl in Jan 2017
Interview
Filled in an online assessment and was then asked for an interview with the Area manager. Didn't ask many questions and told me what the job would entail. I thought the interview had gone really well she told me I would get a call and and an email to let me know. I only received a very generic email the following morning saying I'd been unsuccessful. I was more than, if not over qualified for this job role and fully flexible so would have been nice to receive a phone call to give me some feedback.
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
