Stage 1: Online Application
The online application typically takes around 30 minutes. The application collects personal details, educational background, and work experience. Candidates are also required to provide detailed examples to some questions demonstrating key characteristics relevant to the role, such as leadership and alignment with Aldi’s core values. It’s essential to conduct thorough research into Aldi, including recent developments and corporate culture, to inform your responses effectively.
Stage 2: Online Assessment
Following the application, candidates may need to complete a situational judgment test, a numerical reasoning test, a verbal reasoning test and a logical reasoning test.
Which tests to complete will depend on the role you are applying for. In some cases, you may need to complete a situational judgement test only. It is important to carefully read the email from Aldi for further guidance.
