All our interview panels will consist of at least 2 members of staff, including the Hiring Manager. You will be asked competency-based questions to start discussions on how your past experience can be applied to the role you have applied for. The first stage interview will be focused on skills, knowledge, and experience required for the role outlined in the job description.

Depending on the role you may be required to prepare a presentation, take part in a skills test, or complete a psychometric questionnaire. If this applies to the role that you have applied for we will notify you in the invitation to interview.

Good luck and make sure you visit our Hints and Tips page to prepare for the interview.

You have now completed the first stage interview and we think you're great! It's time for the second stage interview and we want to dive deeper into getting to know you and what you can bring to the team. You will be closely assessed against the Arden values.

Typically the second stage interview will include the Hiring Manager and another senior manager in the business. You can expect this to last for 1 hour and will normally be conducted face to face.

Once this stage has been completed, we will notify all candidates of the outcome, and provide detailed feedback, along with advice and guidance that will explain how the decision was reached. If you are unsuccessful at this stage of our process, we would encourage you to connect with us, to ensure you hear about future opportunities.  

Above all we want great people to join the business. We want you to relax and be yourself in the interview, and really try to showcase to us why you can make a difference at Arden.

Good luck and make sure you visit our Hints and Tips page to prepare for the second interview.
