Interview
Process starts with an Applicant Tracking System resume submission. Be sure to tailor your resume to the job description you are applying to. HR and Hiring managers receive 100's of resumes per day for most postings. If you are selected for an interview (either phone or in-person) it will be a structured interview process. A panel of at least two people will ask predetermined questions which are to be answered using the STAR approach. STAR asks you to describe a Situation, Tasks, Actions and Results for the given behavioral question. You are rated on what you answer during the interview. Do not assume your interviewer knows anything more about you and do not assume that they will pull additional information from your resume. The answer must stand on its own.
If you make it through the interview process, the hiring process can take six or more weeks to complete. Background checks and drug screens are standard. All your communication will be through your HR representative. You can "try" to negotiate some of the terms of the offer, but do not expect too much flexibility from the hiring managers. They are limited by what Global Staffing limits and ranges.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be prepared for the behavioral questions involving ethics and diversity. Have a story ready to go with how you overcame diversity or were faced with an ethical dilemma.
Interview was pretty straightforward. Make sure to provide specific examples when answering questions. Some managers asked technical questions while others would ask behavioral questions. Panel interviews are pretty common once you move past the HR stage.
The hiring process was efficient and well-communicated, with one pre-screening call and one interview. The interviewers were professional, friendly, and allowed time for me to ask questions as well. One of the most organized interview processes I've been a part of. I felt respected as a candidate even though I was unsuccessful.
