I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Bishops Stortford, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
Applied online, did all of the questions, judgement tests etc. Got accepted for an "individual assessment".
First interview ("Individual Assessment") was very simple, sat in a room with the area manager. Was asked questions about the company and myself. The interview was scheduled for 5.45 till 6.00, I got there early at 5.35, but I was sat waiting for my interview until 6.05 and it didn't finish until 6.25.
After this interview I was offered to have an "Aldi Store Experience". This involved getting to the Aldi store at 7AM, working on rotating the fresh produce, and restocking shelves until 8.45. This was very physically straining, with big boxes of carrots etc being really quite heavy, and really being thrown in the deep end with almost no assistance. At 8.45 I had a quick talk with the store manager until 9, which basically was just me and the store manager discussing how I found it, what sort of hours would I be interested in etc.
At 9 I went home and the next morning I got an email from Aldi recruitment saying that I was not successful. The email also states "Due to the high volume of applications that we receive, we are unable to provide specific feedback to individual candidates. ". I personally believe this is absolute ridiculous that I give up my time for an interview and 2 hours free labor to get absolutely no feedback what so ever. If that is how much they value applicants then I think I dodged the bullet there by being unsuccessful.
