After completing the online assessment where I had to answer scenario based questions I was invited to a group interview at the store. At first we were working individually and had to write down what we would do in different scenarios in a booklet. We also had to indicate our availability and desired hours. After this we worked in a group. We were given more scenarios and had to discuss how best to approach them. An assessor was listening to our discussions and we had to feedback our answers to them at the end. The interview felt fairly relaxed. A week later I received an email telling me that I was a successful candidate but couldn't be job matched so was added to their candidate pool.

Candidates had to wait for 15 minutes at a table in the store before the interview. We were then taken into a meeting room, we sat at tables of four or five with a staff member at the end taking notes. We were allocated seats with our name badges at them. We had around five minutes to introduce ourselves. We then read a brief and had to make notes before discussing it together for around 15 minutes. The brief was to plan a Christmas event promoting a popular toy, gadget and food/recipe. There was no individual interview. We were then asked to fill in sheets with our availability. There were sample rotas on the wall, we were told if any of the rota patterns worked to write down the number. I heard I was unsuccesful after a week but that I was a 'silver medallist', despite making an active contribution.
