I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Commercial Estates Group (Nottingham, England) in Mar 2019
Interview
I was head-hunted by a third party recruitment consultant, who was insistent that I'd be the ideal candidate for the role. I was accepted for an interview and was told that the interview would be held at a hotel a stone's throw away from their offices. This seemed suspect, as the role was managing the reception for a very large office building. As I attended, they were still interviewing the previous candidate in the hotel bar. I could hear every word - which isn't professional. At the start of my interview, the interviewer openly told me that there are seeking to replace the existing Receptionists, who know nothing about this. I didn't react but, I was shocked & quite disgusted. Still, I proceeded with the interview. The interviewers were condescending & very rude. I terminated the interview, getting back in touch with the recruiter, professionally & calmly explaining the situation. He couldn't wait to get off the phone.

Interview process was really relaxed, they want to find out about your experience and get to know you, I had kim sharpies do my interview and she was so kind and put me at ease
