Rio Tinto Interview Questions

Everyone should feel involved, included and work in an environment where issues that arise are resolved as early as possible. Leaders and members show courage in addressing issues without unnecessary escalation. Formalization of grievances should be the exception. We all want to work in roles that we are properly trained and prepared for, while operating assets that are healthy and stable.

First-round was an HR call. Then had an online test. In the final round, it was an hour long interview. Asked some behavior questions and some questions about your experience. They looked quite impressed but still got rejected.

There were 4 interviewers, 3 from your university and a Rio Tinto HR, each of them only asked 1 question, overall it was pretty chill and relax, and you get to ask a question at the end.

First stage was online psychometric testing, which was of an interesting and unique style. I found it challenging and only managed to complete about 75% of it. Then I was contacted for an interview about a month later. The interview itself was casual and relaxed, with just one interviewer.

Video interview via Microsoft Teams, 3 interviewers, they were kind during the interview, why Rio Tinto, why you choose the role, and some safety-related questions, questions based on the STAR skils

A very lengthy process. The whole process went for about an hour to a quarter past, with the presence of a senior engineer, a superintendent and myself through Microsoft Team. Due to the poor microphone and speaker they had on site, it was very challenging for the interview to take place.

Simple, quick, call received and interview booked for the next day. Questions were a little odd but to be expected of a big company. Odd personality type questions

1. Online application 2. Online test (a few types of tests (e.g. logical, numerical) that came in 1 seating and sequence of these types of questions jumbled up. It was interesting, never done one like that previously) 3. HR phone interview, quick call that covered typical questions to judge your interest in the company and program 4. 1st round interview with relevant team 5. 2nd round interview with more senior team members The HR was very quick in moving me through from the HR phone interview and had great communication. HR did not provide any clarity in how many more rounds there where in the process but I assume I got to the final stage (any more interview rounds would be excessive) Enjoyed the interview process, but got ghosted after I received a rejection, and absolutely no feedback whatsoever even when I followed up. You would think they would at the very least just make something up after having taken so much of your time.

Thorough and in depth, behavioural and technical questions. Covered a variety of areas, initial phone contact with in person interview afterwards. Would suggest preparing well and assessing job overview. Interview took roughly an hour.

It very nice, the interviewers were friendly and welcoming. The questions were mostly behavioral with questions like have you ever been in a group setting and how did you handle that.
