I applied online. I interviewed at River Island (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applies online through the official website then a week later received an email inviting me to a interview which you can pick out of the availability. Then had a group interview and then received a call the next morning offering me the position.
Applied easily online and got an email to arrange a spot in a Recruitment Event (group interview) a few days later. Initially staff seemed as if they were very hurried and not bothered by all the candidates. They left us to stand in the store near the cash desk for about 15 minutes (after the time the event was meant to start). There were 10 candidates present, all squashed into a small staff room. The interview was very short (30 mins, as opposed to the 90-120 mins as a guide on the emails). We were told at the end that the decision would be made from 'a point system based on what you contributed during the interview'. Not a difficult experience but in no way engaging.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at River Island (Torquay, Inglaterra)
Interview
I was offered a phone interview given a time. I cleared my diary and sat and waited no call nothing. I messaged the river island contact she read the message ... no reply. A week later I get an email and voicemail saying Thankyou for the interview but you weren’t successful. Absolutely disgusting way to treat potential colleagues from now on I’m not shopping with them or ever recommending them they treat people appallingly

Didn’t have the decency to keep to an interview they arranged
