Firstly, I was asked to attend a group interview which only 3/5 of us turned up to. It was quite simple, we were asked about ourselves past experience in retail and what we knew about Aldi. You're asked to complete a scenario test as a group and explain your answers and how you decided upon then, as well as a competency test (includes math and literacy skills). After this I was contacted almost immediately with an email inviting me to a one-to-one interview, only two days later. This interview was actually with two people, asking very similar questions to the first interview. However, the main thing they want to see is if you're up to a really physical job, and if you can get to the store at 5am some days. I was told in the interview I would be attending a in store assessment, not at the store which they would be offering a role. The in store assessment required you to stack shelves, use their equipment, do a maths test, a short store tour, remember some fruit/veg codes, a very difficult and straining stacking challenge, and lastly a go on the checkouts. This was not a paid experience, which is very disappointing when you put in so much effort. I felt that Aldi can be quite sexist, that they prefer strong young men who can stack shelves as quickly as possible. I was told I wouldn't stack anything like fruit or veg, that would all be done by male assistants. After this long process, I received a generic email saying I was unsuccessful due to the amount of applications. I think this is a badly designed system, you should be given some form of feedback.
