      Personal Care Assistant Interview

      20 Mar 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dovida (Dublin, Dublin)

      Interview

      It was a very strange interview process. I arrived at the designated time and was seen by an associate who asked me the normal questions one would expect from an interview for this position. I was then told to wait as he was going to get some paperwork I would need to sign for the second stage of the interview process, but was then left unattended for 15 minutes. When the interviewer returned, he was accompanied by who I believe was the hea of HR for the company, who then proceeded to kind of grill me over my CV and would cast doubt on my previous experience. Following this, I was left unattended again for 10-15 minutes. Upon my initial interviewers return, I was finally allowed to sign the forms. I was then asked to provide a bank statement at that exact moment (luckily I had one prepared) and received pushback from the interviewer when I asked if I would be able to send this on following our meeting (I could already tell I did not want to work for this company and did not feel comfortable in the interview process). I then was made to furnish my passport for scanning (I was aware of this step and was fine to do so). As one may conclude, it was not a good interview experience (though I was told I answered all of the questions well), and I was often fact checked on everything I said (even if it was personal experience) and was fact checked on the number of offices around the world (the head of HR seemed to take around 2 minutes to locate how many offices the company had. This was an awkward moment as the entire room went silent while he searched on his ipad for the answer and my further questions were met with silence. I wish nothing but the best for the company and it is an important field in Ireland, however I cannot see how this interview experience is a positive one for anyone seeking employment here.
