Arrogant interviewer, I felt as if I was being talked down to so that I would be pressured into accepting worse terms. Unpaid overtime was presented as a given that should just be accepted - this is a huge red flag and should not be tolerated.

Question 1
How do you handle pressure and stressful situations
I recently went through the application process for the HR Officer position at West Coast Supply Group. I had two interviews — first with the HR team and then with the HR Manager — and also completed the required assessments. Throughout the process, I had a genuinely positive experience and felt there was a strong mutual connection.
Unfortunately, I was informed that the position was offered to another candidate due to what was described as a “better click.” While I respect that hiring decisions can be based on various factors, I was surprised to see the position reposted shortly after being told it was filled.
I would have appreciated more transparent feedback to better understand the outcome. Clear communication, especially after multiple interviews and assessments, goes a long way in maintaining a positive candidate experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at West Coast Supply Group (Leiden) in Oct 2023
Interview
Very Smooth and straight forward procedure , the overall time it takes for them to organize an interview might take a while , but they keep constant communication with you.
