Job Interview Statistics in the UK – How Many Interviews Are Actually Normal?

Posted by ThreadHunter on February 9, 2026, 4:54 am

Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to the UK job market and I’m trying to understand what “normal” really looks like when it comes to job interviews. Back in my home country, one or two interviews were usually enough, but here I’m seeing multiple stages, assessments, and long gaps between responses. It made me curious about UK job interview statistics and whether this level of competition is typical. I keep hearing about interview success rate being quite low, but I’ve never seen real numbers to back that up. How many job interviews does the average candidate attend before getting an offer? I feel like having proper job interview statistics would help me stay motivated and avoid unnecessary stress during this process.

You’re asking a very important question, especially if you’re new to the UK market. I had the same confusion and decided to look into real UK job interview statistics instead of relying on assumptions. This page was extremely helpful https://moderncv.co.uk/uk-job-interview-statistics It clearly explains interview success rate data and shows that attending several job interviews before receiving an offer is completely normal in the UK. In my own experience, I went through multiple interview stages across different companies before finally getting hired. Understanding the statistics helped me adjust my expectations and see interviews as part of a longer journey rather than a series of personal failures.
