I applied online. I interviewed at Lidl (Sheffield, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
There were two interviewees, the store manager and a deputy manager. It was very laid back, and they had a list of questions they were supposed to ask, but the manager just skimmed through them. They are basically just seeing how you are as a person and whether they can see you working in the store.
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.
