Didn't make it past the second stage, annoyed as its the first time I've interviewed and not been offered in 10+ years.
Feedback was confusing, annoying and has annoyed my recruitment consultant so much he is told the company he wont be working with them in future. Glowing feedback about my track record, they liked me, but they honed in one comment I made and made a mountain out of a molehill about it. Question came up about experience working with intermediaries and making sure they meet their SLA's. Gave the standard response, engagement, pro actively manage, leverage relationship, etc, blah blah blah, and then said something like 'and if necessary I'll pick up the phone and give the broker a little kick' - which is standard London Market terminology, people all the way up to CFO level always talk about picking up the phone and shouting at the broker if you need to. At no point does anybody ever, EVER, shout at a broker. 99% of the time you've been working with the same brokers for years, they're a key stakeholder to your business being successful and you'll have a great working relationship with them. They honed in on the 'little kick' aspect of my comment and took it to mean that I'd literally be shouting at a broker and jeapoardising a key business relationship.
If the company is getting hung up on that I'm actually glad I didn't progress further, as if a company is as uptight about terminology like that then it wouldn't have been a good fit for me.
