I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lidl (Plymouth, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interview Process was fairly easy including many general questions. There were many other candidates invited as they were recruiting people for several stores. At first, the area manager gave a brief introduction of the company, what is their success over the years and particularly in the United Kingdom. Then each manager of the different stores introduced themselves and tell us the length if their employment at the company. The majority of them were part of the company for over 5 years. After that, we have been asked to complete very easy numeracy tests and hand it back, followed by one to one meeting with the manager of the store you applied for.

Question 1
Why do you choose Lidl?
What do you know about Lidl?
How would you deal with difficult customers?
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
