I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Birmingham, England)
Interview
I filled an online application form, uploaded my CV and covering letter. The next day I received an email with a date for a telephone interview, I had to call and confirm a date and time with them. The telephone interview was set for 4 days later, the questions included: why lidl? what do you know about the company? what skills do you have? why should lidl hire you? what is your definition of great customer service?
Apart from this we discussed a little about my CV previous employment and why I left.
Overall I feel the telephone interview went great, the lady on the phone sounded very friendly and welcoming. I then received an email the very next day for an interview in store.
Will update with an another review once interviewed.

Question 1
why lidl? what do you know about the company? what skills do you have? why should lidl hire you? what is your definition of great customer service?
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.
