      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Rentokil Initial (Dumfries, Scotland) in May 2026

      Interview

      The whole interview process was straightforward and easy to follow, it began with a phone call from Amy, who is great to speak to and very informative, followed by a Google meet interview with John and Kerry who were able to explain the role further. Afterwards there is a field interview, I carried this out with Joe who although hasn't been doing the job for a very long period of time was very knowledgeable displaying the high quality training provided with Rentokil and gave great insight into day to day jobs that will be carried out, once we had done this he then took me for a face to face interview with John and Kerry. Everyone I spoke to throughout the process were very helpful and easy to speak to, overall the interview process was fantastic.
