I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl in Jun 2019
Interview
Roughly an hour long process with the Area Manager and Store Manager in the staff communal area. Competency questions as well as scenarios (what would you do) questions and a walk around the store looking for positives and negatives and feeding these back to the managers.
You're working on the shop floors on your own and you notice a que is building up at the tills. You also notice a spill on the floor and that there is a lot of stock to put out. What do you priorities and why?
Very straightforward process.
One person interviewed me and asked a few questions.
Did not last more than an hour, if that.
I had one interview and then an offer was made.
Phone interview and then in person interview. Pretty quick and easy and doesn’t take long to hear back. Questions are pretty standard like ‘why Lidl?’ and ‘what’s your favourite item we sell’. Also a few scenario based questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Cardiff, Wales) in Jan 2026
Interview
Really nice manager and chill atmosphere. Didn't ask me any scenario based questions or any that I had to provide a "star" like paragraph; more focused on how prepared/ committed/ able you are to do a lot of work.
