Interview
You Start by applying online. Then get contacted by Reah the recruitment consultant for a telephone interview. Once successful your sent for a first stage interview with the hiring manager, very formal. You need knowledge of the company and able to complete three competency based tests . Once you pass this stage you get a half day out doing the job with a technician to see if it’s for you. This is your chance to ask plenty of question before your final interview with the area manager.
Thank you for taking the time to leave an interview review and welcome to Rentokil Pest Control! You summarise our process very nicely and I am glad you had a positive experience in joining the company. I wish you good luck with your starting period.
