I applied online. I interviewed at JD Group (Bournemouth, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
Received a call from the RM, asked me a few questions about my CV, asked existing salary then tried to talk me down for this company.
Asked me to come along for a 'chat' was in a room with him for 25 mins, where he asked me no competency based questions, asserted that although he had 'only worked for JD Sports, he really had a business head', and tried to catch me out when told him I loved Trainers and had a trainer addiction.
Whole experience was a 'measuring contest' only from one direction, (not me, I was looking for a new vocation) and I can safely say that having worked for some of the most respected brands in the UK, if not the world (Apple, O2, 3, Virgin Media) in retail management for 15 years, I've never come across such a huge waste of my time. If this guy is representative of what 'good looks like' in JD, I'll give it a wide berth.
I applied online. I interviewed at JD Group (Copenhagen, Capital Region) in Mar 2024
Interview
Applied online, and was contacted by text message a week later to set up interview. Didn’t receive any reply to my text so sent back a text and was met with a reply that they all of a sudden consider me for a lower position, not a store manager position, but a floor manager position. Pretty disgusting and unserious behavior from their side! Just shows how retail works and that you in the end are as disposable as the next person. Doesn’t matter what experience you go in to, it’s apparently all about who’s reading your cv to value you on their scale.
The interview process was efficient and productive, I gained a lot of information regarding the business and the way they progress their people, whilst also feeling challenges regarding my current and previous experiences.

Interview
La recruiter incompetente,mi ha chiesto di parlare di me ma in realtà credo che non fosse all'altezza di valutare la mia esperienza lavorativa perché a volte la persona sbagliata si trova al posto giusto nel momento giusto spinta dalle persone giuste..
