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.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lidl (Plymouth, England) in Feb 2020
Interview
After applying came an online assessment. Straight forward and easy to understand, just had to choose the most appropriate solutions to the problem. Followed by a telephone interview about 1-2 weeks after. Was relaxed, asked what my availability is, how flexible i am (available to work weekends or early/late shifts). Also asked why i thought Lidl would be a good match for me and what experiences i had that would help me within the job role.
Offered a face to face interview at the end of the phone call, which was relatively relaxed, two members of staff in the room with me and common questions asked. Had a phone call a day later offering me the position.
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
An example of you using your initiative in a previous job role?
No milk on shop floor, Large and growing queue of customers and only one staff member on tills, spillage in one of the aisles and Veg display is messy. Prioritize these tasks in importance and explain why you made these choices?
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.
