I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Iceland Foods (Ramsgate, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
Telephone interview followed by instore interview, including store walk and hypothetical problem solving exercise. Had to point out opportunities and things that it was great at. then figure out a short medium and long term plan for a problem store
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Iceland Foods (London, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
Long and drawn out. Five different processes from telephone interview to a trail shift in a store. I dealt with a recruitment advisor that worked for Iceland. She contacted potential candidates and offered telephone screening. This woman was arrogant from the beginning but became full of attitude when I refused a job offer due to poor pay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business plan of an Iceland store, tell me about a time when you had to deal with conflict in a team. Tell me about a time when you were faced with difficult targets how did you achieve these.
We're sorry to hear about your negative experience of our recruitment process. As a number of companies move to a more automated process (video screening, automated responses etc.), we pride ourselves on the personal and 'human touch' that our recruitment team look to provide. We're used to hearing very positive feedback on this so eager to hear more to help us address/improve.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Iceland Foods (Maidstone, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
The whole process is divided into four different parts. 2 phone interviews and 2 stages one on one interviews. There was a work shadow exercise involved with current store manager that would help on second stage interview. I found the whole process straightforward and very professional.
