The interview process at HSL Chairs was thorough and well organised, with three clear stages. Each stage felt supportive and well thought out, and every interaction genuinely increased my desire to work for the company. The recruitment team were excellent throughout, keeping in constant contact, setting clear expectations, and making the whole process feel transparent and engaging. I felt valued as a candidate at every stage and appreciated how professional and approachable everyone was. Overall, a very positive experience that reflects well on HSL’s culture and values.

Submitted an online application with online questions. HR Department contacted me with an interview date via email, and I had to confirm via email to accept the slot. I was interviewed by both the new stores manager and the regional area manager. They called me the next day by phone and offered me the position. I was told about a training academy that I must attend, and all travel and hotel expenses are paid by head office.

The interview lasted about 30 minutes, and I was interviewed by the team leader and area manager. They were both very nice and made me feel comfortable right away. I was offered a cappuccino. The questions weren't too difficult; they were more focused on my personality.
