      User Researcher Interview

      23 Oct 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Softwire (London, England) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      Informed at start of interview that it was more of a chat, and informal, but then the interviewers proceeded with very tailored, focussed questions. Shocking lack of reasonable adjustments made for the interview I had for this, absolutely no communication with unsuccessful candidates, and no feedback offered. It seems I had a lucky escape from a company that doesn't care.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you present feedback, stakeholder management

      Thanks very much for your comments, and we’re really sorry for your bad interview experience. We owe you an apology because we definitely got this one wrong – we’ll reach out to you directly this week to apologise in person. You’re absolutely right that we didn’t make reasonable adjustments for your interview. The reason those adjustments weren’t made in your case is because we weren’t aware before the interview that adjustments were needed. However, whilst this is an explanation of sorts, it’s definitely not an excuse because (a) it is our responsibility to determine in advance if adjustments are needed – covered in our application form for those that apply through our website but not always for those such as you who we meet via other avenues - and (b) our interviewers should have stopped the interview once they were made aware that adjustments might be needed, rather than continuing with the interview and attempting to make such adjustments on the fly. We’ll fix both of these problems for future interviews so that other candidates won’t go through the same experience. In terms of your comment about ‘no communication with unsuccessful candidates’, in your case your liaison was unwell on the day following the interview, a Friday, but we responded to you on the following Monday. I can assure you that all candidates do receive follow-up communication after an interview, whether they are successful or otherwise. In terms of feedback on your interview, all candidates can receive feedback on request (at any stage of our process). However, we don't provide unsolicited feedback, because that wouldn't always be welcome. Apologies once again and we wish you all the best.
