I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lidl in Aug 2020
Interview
The manager was present with another woman, the manager never disclosed her position, she didn't ask any questions she just stared at me the whole time while the manager asked me questions which made me uncomfortable. They were making fun of my previous workplace between them and I just had to sit there listening to it.

Overall, Lidl’s approach to sales is highly disciplined, execution-focused, and results-oriented. Success within the organisation appears to depend less on persuasive selling in the traditional sense, and more on delivering against clear commercial KPIs, maintaining operational excellence, and supporting a proposition that customers already trust.
