Fast-paced, efficient and succinct. Application leads to the group interview with an immediate follow-up interview with area manager. You have to speak up amongst a group of 5-12 to be heard by the hiring manager (usually area manager).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Hull, England) in Jun 2018
Interview
Online assessment involving store scenario based questions. Around 2 weeks later was invited to a group assessment consisting of 6 people. We were all asked to introduce ourselves stating our hobbies and interests etc. Then later on were asked to talk more in depth about previous work experience/education. Then we all took part in a group task which involved reading a list of scenarios that could happen in store on a daily basis and then as a group we had to debate which was of highest priority down to least. Then we just had to state how much we knew about aldi and why we wanted to work for them. Tip (Try to lead group discussions and make sure you are always heard)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Widnes, England) in Jun 2018
Interview
Applied online and went through the whole process of inputting CV details, work history etc. Did an online test which took around 30-40 minutes. The next day I recieved an email asking me to book onto a group assesment at one of their stores - the nearest date was around a month away. I went to the interview on the day, it was scheduled for 8am and 3 of us (women) turned up, but I think a few more were expected as the Area Manager(?) kept going out checking. Started out with a (timed) 5 minute maths test, 10 questions. The others didn't complete it, but I finished in 4 minutes, with the manager giving me a nudge with one question at the end. He then asked us about ourselves, and proceeded to ask us as a group what we knew about ALDI. Then he got us to write our availability, hours and preferred locations. Overall it went quite well. Found out the next morning that I was not going to be considered for a one-to-one interview (the next stage).
