Tag: Harrods job interview

Harrods uses a very strict and detailed job application and interview process for roles at all levels.

You will first be asked to complete an online application (and to upload your CV) From this successful applicants will complete a telephone interview where you are asked questions relating to the experience you recorded on your application.

If you pass this round you will be invited to the Harrods assessment center to complete group and individual interview sessions/tasks.

There are 3 interview main stages:

1 with Human Resources

2 Line Manager Interview (one to one)

3 a Medical Check.

You will be asked to get involved in a group task – you need to really get involved here and encourage others to also get involved. The assessors at this stage are looking for “team work”

Following this, you will be asked to complete a role play. Often this is helping a ‘shopper’ to buy an outfit or to spend £500 they received as a birthday present. The assessors are looking at your confidence and customer service skills.

Prior to the one to one interview section you will also have to stand up in front of the other applicants to present yourself. This is often a 5-minute speech about you and why you want to work for Harrods.
