The hiring process at ALDI takes an average of 5 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Cajero had the quickest hiring process (on average 5 days), whereas Cajero roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 5 days).
The interview was extremely lazy, hardly any effort was made to interact with myself and other applicants. It was a group interview consisting of 5 people in total.
The whole interview felt like it was there for Aldi to promote themselves and say how "amazing" they are. Very few questions were asked, the only opportunity we had to speak was when the interviewer said "tell me a little about yourself", that was it. Didn't really get a chance to sell yourself.
One of the worst and laziest interviews I've ever been a part of.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI in May 2016
Interview
After going trough online application, was emailed with choice of interview dates from list, picked the most suitable, but could request more if these weren't suitable for you. All this part done online, so time to think of answers.
Interview was with Store Manager and Area Manager. Very chatty, easy going style,and put me at ease. Explained role, and what interview consisted off.

Why do you want to work for Aldi?
Some competency questions, what would you do if spillages, customer complaint,all tills busy at once, and no-one to help
Small maths test, they left the room. 10 questions,fairly easy, interpreting graphs, working out percentages and addition.
Explanation of next process,if successful,you would be called in for 'Aldi Experience',(again booked online) along with other candidates, comprising Health & Safety briefing, double checking all your personal details, checking uniform sizing, if you have any holidays booked, when the next training session will start based on notice period you need to give your employer, then about 90 minutes or so on shop floor.
Was paired up with experienced assistant, decarded and tidied up shelves in several areas,used the cardboard bailing machine. On the go the whole time (I had booked mine for the evening after a full 10 hour shift at present employment), but it shows you the pace and style of Aldi. Other staff were busy but happy, and all said they enjoyed working there. Management check in on you to see how you are coping. Got my conditional offer of employment through by email before I got home.
Offer is based on having national insurance number, bank account details, 2 references, and next of kin details being provided. They will also carry out a disclosure (pvg) on you to check for any convictions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Haines City, FL) in May 2014
Interview
The job interview was pretty relaxed. The Director of operations from two groups gave interviews. It was a round robin affair. Then you brake for lunch and it is very much an evaluation of how you interact with the other candidates and the directors. They were interested in your experience, likes and dislikes, and your academic background.
