Thank you for posting this review, it's helpful for us to hear about how candidates experience our process. We do our best to make sure everyone has a positive experience with us, so it's a shame you didn't enjoy the session like others.
We typically have a large group at Assessment Centre's as it gives us an opportunity to see as many people as possible; we assess candidates to consider their ability to be successful in the role, including technical skills and behaviours. Within our Assessment email communication, we give everyone the opportunity to make us aware of any reasonable adjustments required regarding disabilities; we didn’t get any requests for this Assessment. Our Assessment involves an ice breaker where candidates are tasked with explaining an object for the rest of the group to guess, the press ups were designed to be a fun element if the group didn't guess correctly. Unfortunately the fun nature in which it was intended didn’t seem to come across to yourself on this occasion, so apologies for any confusion. Regarding the hours & pay, these were advertised when you applied for the role, there is actually an opening for overtime increasing the opportunity by an additional 10 hours which was communicated on the day.
Thank you for attending the session with us and thank you again for the useful insight into how you experienced our process. Hopefully the above gives some explanation as to the session you experienced, but I would love to discuss it more with you. If you’d be happy to give me more detail, please do email recruitment@virginactive.co.uk where we can pick it up further.
All the best, Jeanette.
