I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Deliveroo in Jan 2020
Interview
Recruiter was professional and friendly during initial call. Progressed to interview with hiring manager - unfortunately the specific topics I’d been briefed on by the recruiter didn’t come up in the interview. Not a major problem, but slightly annoying as I’d spent my time preparing to talk about those, so was thrown a bit off.
Biggest problem was that I never heard back after this, not even a template rejection email. Tried to follow up with the recruiter once, but still nothing (I don’t blame the specific recruiter for this, feels more like a strange internal ‘not a priority’ attitude across the board).
I personally wasn’t too stressed either way, as while they’re a great brand, I would’ve had to take a pay cut, but this sort of brand will be some applicant’s absolute dream... so it just seems a little unfair to leave someone on the hook indefinitely if they’re super hopeful (or postponing other offers).
Just email and let people know if they’re not progressing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Brand related, Definitely questioned about competitors and differences
I'm really sorry to hear you never heard back. Would you mind dropping me an email so I can (a) try get you some and make it up to you and (b) troubleshoot our process so I can make sure this doesn't happen again? Thank you for taking the time jamieedwards@deliveroo.co.uk
4 interviews planned
I only did two of them.
HR interview: person who interviewed me was very nice and even rescheduled the interview when I got the time wrong the first time
2nd interview: with team lead. Intense interview but nice interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Deliveroo (London, England) in Sept 2023
Interview
Call with the recruiter, first interview with member of your prospective team, Values interview with member of another team, then final interview including presentation task. Whole process took 3 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you presented to a client/partner/internal colleague and changed their mind about something
Good, hr then hiring manager then final interview. Process was smooth and I heard back in reasonable time periods. I would recommend to prepare for why deliveroo questions. The rest of the interview was okay.
