Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HeliosX Group (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Hardly any effort to build rapport or learn about me outside of day to day work. Within seconds it was question after question, straight into role fit.
One of the questions was how many roles have I hired even though it’s on my cv. Came across like they hadn’t read it beforehand.
Also asked me what my current salary was. Why do you need to know that? I told them my expected salary instead.
The interview felt like a fair reflection on what others have stated it’s like working at the company. And don’t think the role would be the right level either.
Overall not a great experience as a candidate and wouldn’t recommend.

recruiter on the call gave me 10 minutes of chit chat, didn't ask me anything about my work in recruitment then asked me what industry blogs I read. they were also clearly distracted, looking at another screen and messaging on Slack while i was talking.

Colloquio
Disappointing candidate experience from a company bragging about 5 stars on Glassdoor. The person interviewing me had the attention anywhere else but at me. He seemed like being chased by others, I could see that he was shuffling through various things on his screen and at some point I had to repeat what I was saying because he wasn't paying attention. When we've got to the part where I had some questions, his interest in our conversation was completely lost and his answers were as short as possible, with no clear information provided. Following this interview I withdrew my application and in the email I sent I offered an honest and polite feedback regarding the interview. In the reply back from the interviewer I was told that the lack of interest came from the fact that I didn't read anything at all about the company. One, even if that would have been the case, we are all professionals, so respect should not be conditioned on if a candidate has read or not about the company. Two, I did read about the company and I had questions based on the information read on the website and requested more clarification, but, as I said, the attention of the interviewer was somewhere else. Personally, I will avoid HeliosX in the future. And a word of advise, that 5 stars on Glassdoor won't be there long with this attitude.

Informal interview, questions around my experience; it was meant to include a presentation of the company and the role, but that didn't happen.
