Potential scheme to get information about your current salary! After less than 5 minutes of submitting my application, I received the confirmation that my application was rejected. Because I have good qualifications for the position, I was astonished. However, I did find some red flag questions on the application. In order to complete the application, it is mandatory to provide CURRENT salary. I wonder if this is a scheme to get such information. So, in conclusion, the recruitment process of this company does not seem to be trustworthy!

Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lonza (Manchester, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
Pretty extensive interview process with an initial screening interview at the start of the procedure. I managed to get through to the second stage interview but fell short on some aspects of the role. However, I was in talks with three internal recruiters which made it harder for me to gauge on building the relationship with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me 3 questions on double entry. One question was about double entry on an over credit on a supplier, one question was the correct double entry for depreciation on an asset and another question was about prepayment on an expense.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lonza (Manchester, England) in May 2020
Interview
I was contacted by one of their recruiters. After I expressed interest in the role, I had a brief phone call to go through the job in more detail and to discuss what I was looking for. 4 weeks later I was contacted to arrange a video interview. The interview was an hour long and focused on my experience followed by several technical and competency based questions.
