      Application

      I interviewed at Anstar (Leeds, England) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Job advert stated that they wanted someone with a PhD but the first-round interview I had someone saying that a PhD is irrelevant and that he doesn’t care about any of my experience. The first-round interview was so rude that it left a bad taste in my mouth, it was clear he was only in the job due to being a family member of the owner. The second-round interview (with someone else) was nicer. I was invited onsite for a third-round interview but was asked to do an online assessment which required me to download some questionable and invasive software, at this point I withdrew from the process.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear parts of the process didn’t leave a positive impression. As a technical sales business, we look for a combination of scientific understanding, commercial thinking and long-term potential, so different interview stages may focus on different areas of a candidate’s experience and approach. We work hard to build a high-performing and supportive team, with progression based on contribution, capability and attitude, regardless of background. The assessment mentioned was a standard third-party online assessment used by many companies as part of the hiring process, though we understand not every candidate will be comfortable with that approach. We appreciate the feedback and wish you the best going forward.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Anstar (Leeds, England)

      Interview

      First stage interview via Microsoft teams with two members of staff, asked several questions which were not relevant to the position, i.e. asked why I got what I got for my A-level results despite having a masters degree and nine years of experience. Came off as a bit rude in the interview.

      Thank you for your feedback on the interview process at Anstar. We aim to ensure our interviews are professional, thorough, and relevant to the role. While we ask a wide range of questions to gain a full understanding of candidates’ experiences and thought processes, we acknowledge that some questions, such as those about earlier academic achievements, may have felt less pertinent given your later experiences. We’ll take this on board to refine our approach. We appreciate your time and effort in applying to Anstar and wish you success in your future endeavours.
