I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TeacherActive (Liverpool, Inglaterra) in Dec 2015
Interview
Phone interview was fine, the lady I spoke with was really nice and I was invited to a formal face to face interview with the manager of the Manchester / liverpool branch. I was made to feel very uncomfortable during this interview , the questions I was being asked weren't relevant to the job role, I was I felt I was trying to be put off the job. Since the interview nearly 2 months ago now, I have not received any feedback what so ever! Would defiantly not recommend!

Question 1
Was asked a lot about my mangers ability rather than my own
Hi
Sorry to hear that the interview experience was not a good one. Our interview questions will sometimes feel a little left field and will be really challenging - we need to see that new consultants are able to handle pressure, handle criticism and are able to follow direction really well.
It's really important to TeacherActive that we are not like most other recruiters, employing then letting people go after 5 minutes as they are not properly tested at interview.
If you have not had feedback then it does seem that something has fallen down in the process as typically this is delivered immediately afterwards.
If you would like to discuss this further then please email me directly at feedback@teacheractive.com

I applied online. I interviewed at TeacherActive (Leeds, South East England, England)
Interview
They arranged a telephone interview and decided to just not show up. Even after rescheduling still didn't show up with no email to say why. So unprofessional. Not to mention spelling my name wrong on the initial email.

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at TeacherActive
Interview
I have the same experience that a previous candidate had. They just don’t even bother and unprofessional. Applied online for the position of Recruitment Consultant and then my CV gets shortlisted. Next I have a telephone interview, which was short and simple, got told I would hear by the end of the week and that my CV will be passed onto the hiring manager. Finally get an email to say, your CV has not been shortlisted and can't give feedback. Lack of communication and it is messy.
