The hiring process at Tesco takes an average of 1 day when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Christmas Customer Assistant had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Christmas Customer Assistant roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 1 day).
I applied online, completed a short assessment, and attended an interview focused on customer service, teamwork, and availability. Afterwards, I completed right-to-work checks, induction training, and sometimes a trial shift.
It was very nice, mostly asked about availability and how flexible you are. You have to be fully flexible, if not they will not hire you. The people seem super nice though.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesco (Falkirk, Scotland) in Sep 2025
