I interviewed at Home Bargains (Rotherham, England)
Interview
Staff seemed really pleasant as I was waiting to be interviewed. Was taken into a room and asked an array of questions mostly focusing around teamwork. Felt it went well but didn't get offered the position.
I interviewed at Home Bargains (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Interview
I applied for the job online, I was then invited to a 1-1 interview with the hiring manager at the local job centre as the store was yet to open. The process took about 2 weeks.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Home Bargains in Oct 2025
Interview
Applied online, and received an email a few days later asking to book an interview slot for the next week.
The interviewer was lovely and it was a casual chat about experience, my interests/hobbies outside of work, what I knew about the store and retail.
I was asked about any holidays and if I had the right to work, and which documents I had.
I was called about an hour later confirming I'd got the job. Really lovely people and a nice environment, really great communication too with the manager getting in touch to ask how I'm getting on with submitting documents and onboarding.
Definitely recommend!
