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).
Pretty straight forward interview, with standard questions such as previous experience and years worked etc, was asked what days and hours I could work. Filled in forms and was contacted a few days later.
Simple, group interview which is always a bit strange. Wasn't an enjoyable process and felt quite competitive at times. There was at least 20 people there for 1 position and it felt uncomfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Availability. The questions asked were directed to the group.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesco (Eastbourne, Inglaterra) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview in itself was fine and the interviewers were relatively nice but I'm still putting this down as an overall negative experience.
The email sent to me never mentioned a group interview, however, when I showed up there were around 10 or so other people. The email also never mentioned a stocking activity, however (again), we were made to do this. There were also two interviewers as opposed to the only one mentioned in the email, who was late (I normally would let this pass but not in this situation, sorry?).
As for the actual "interview", we were only asked for our names, if we have any experience and questions, and we were made to fill out some forms about health and availability. I've never had a group interview before, so I'm unsure if this is normal, but from my point of view it is still highly disappointing, as I spent a lot of time preparing for the most basic interview questions including the competency ones (which the email said the interview would have) to not even be asked them.
