I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Eden Prairie, MN) in Feb 2012
Interview
Lengthy process; 1) phone interview, 2) HR interview, 3) test, 4) hiring manager interview, 5) VP interview. They are very driven by "A" type personalities and thus the test is slanted towards those questions. HR was very engaged and responsive and helped in the process. Hiring Mgr and VP asked good thorough questions and required in depth responses. They have recently converted to a "group" interview sessions after the hiring manager has signed off on candidate and before VP interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In a competitive bid situation, how did you articulate your company's differentiating value adds to earn the business?
recruiter phone screen → 1–3 interviews (behavioral, sometimes case/technical) → final panel or hiring manager interview; may include assessments or presentations. there was an in person meeting at the end at the office
Positive, very clear about interview process and role expectations. Transparent about culture and pay structure. Felt inviting and warm. Pretty easy interview, they just wanted to know more about me and if my personality would fit in well with the culture and team.
Good interview. Liked how professional the recruiter was. Also liked how professional the process was when go to the in person interview. Happy with the company's interview process and their people.
