I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Victaulic (Grand Junction, CO) in Jan 2014
Interview
I applied online and received an email almost immediately asking me to complete two somewhat tedious personality/skills assessments. A couple days later I was contacted and asked when I would be available for a phone interview. My phone interview went well and my information was passed on to the local manager, who took some time in getting a hold of me. When a time was arranged to meet him I had to drive about 200 miles to meet him, which wasn't too terrible since Victaulic reimburses you for mileage. After the interview some time passed without me hearing back, so I contacted my HR contact who told me that they had decided to go with another candidate, which I believe was untrue, since they continued to list the job on monster for some time after that. All in all a fairly positive experience, but I wish that they had simply told me that they weren't interested in me, instead of pretending that they had hired someone else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Almost every question was of the "tell me about a time that you had x experience at work and how you dealt with it" an most of them were sales oriented.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Victaulic (Melbourne, FL)
Interview
HR interview with an actual company HR person then you interview with a sales manager and then interview with VP or Director or Manager’s boss. Interviews are done on zoom or teams. After you have multiple interviews and send multiple thank you letters, no one from this company follows up with you via emails or phone calls. Even if you politely call them or professionally email them they won’t return your messages or follow up with you. Yes, this is after multiple interviews. That is rude and disrespectful ! I would not want to work for a company with these type of low standards in their HR dept and from their people in leadership positions.
They have been nothing but professional in the interviewing process. They have made it quite enjoyable. However, it is a bit of a lengthy process, but they have been able to assist and answer all questions that I have had.

Question 1
Do you think this is a role that you could strive in?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Victaulic (Easton, PA)
Interview
Very lengthy. Involves many questionnaires, personality test, and face to face interviews. One of the surveys takes as much as six hours to complete. The hiring process will require significant investment of time from candidates. I believe their goal is due diligence, but I suggest they reevaluate their processes - they're a bit of an overkill. Also, there seemed to be a disconnect between their recruiters (who are internal) and the hiring managers. This may have extended the process somewhat. There is so much work to do in the process, that you may get the feeling that you are already working for the company before you actually are hired.
