I interviewed at Splendid Hospitality Group (London, England)
Interview
I was kept up to date throughout the process, from the outset they were clear on the process, and the team were really friendly and warm. Would recommend Splendid to anyone.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Splendid Hospitality Group (London, England) in Dec 2023
Interview
Three Teams interviews plus a panel interview with the HR team to share a pre prepared presentation, the HR department is currently under review with a consultant. After four hours in interviews, plus preparation time a call came to provide an outcome, not one piece of feedback provided when I asked, personally I find this really disrespectful. My advice to any applicant; see the red flags, they really aren't hard to miss.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Splendid Hospitality Group (York, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Completely demoralising candidate experience being interviewed by the General Manager of the Grand hotel in York (part of the splendid hospitality group). He has a shockingly rude, arrogant and dismissive communication style. Having been invited for a one hour zoom interview for a HR Manager position, he rudely closed the interview down after only 4 minutes by criticising my abilities to answer his first question satisfactorily and proceeded to tell me I was wasting his time. Strangely there was no other interview panel member present. Having worked in a senior HR role for many years, this unprofessional conduct was an absolute masterclass in how NOT to conduct an interview. He clearly has not had any interview skills training as his conduct had no regard or respect for the candidate. It is astounding that someone in a senior role would conduct himself in this manner. His behaviour is very damaging to the reputation of the splendid hospitality group. I would absolutely not recommend this company.
