      Global Procurement Lead Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Victrex (Thornton, West Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the Humber, England)

      Interview

      During my interview experience, I went through two rounds: First Interview: A 30-minute, informal Teams meeting with the hiring manager to discuss the role and my background. Second Interview: A 30-minute presentation to the hiring manager and peers, followed by a separate 30-minute session with the HR Director. While the first part of the second interview felt collaborative and open, I encountered challenges in the session with the HR Director. She maintained little to no eye contact and focused primarily on tough, high-pressure scenarios. The questions were framed around competitive situations—specifically, how I would ensure the company’s win at the expense of others. Her approach felt more interrogation-style and lacked empathy, which impacted the overall tone of the discussion.

      Thank you for sharing your balanced feedback about your interview experience. I’m pleased that you felt our approach was collaborative and open initially, as that’s our typical and preferred style during our recruitment and selection processes. However, I was really shocked to hear about your experience with the local HR Director who had responsibility for Procurement, I can only apologise for this. As Group HR Director, I would be very happy to have a call to apologise in person and to allow you to share your feedback in more detail if you so wish. You can contact me through Victrex main phone number on +(44) 1253 897701, please ask for me, Jilly Atherton. If I’m unavailable at that time, I’ll call you back as soon as I’m able to. Please mention that you are calling in relation to the Glassdoor interview feedback. Thank you.
