I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DB Schenker in Apr 2012
Interview
This job did not follow the typical hiring and interview process. As you always say, it is not about what you know, rather, who you know. I had just completed a temporary assignment for another company, and was out pounding the pavement for the next opportunity. My wife had just completed a "project status" review with her team, and her boss had said he had no idea how they were going to get it all done. She responded by saying "Why don't you hire my husband?", to which the hiring manager replied "Why in the world would I hire your husband?". All she said was "Because he is a better PM than I am". One phone call later, I was hired and immediately began working 2 projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a project that had been "neglected/abused" by a couple of prior PM's. The hiring manager's question was "Knowing that we have failed, and that the customer has little or no respect for our PM's, how do you plan to make this successful?"
Le processus d’embauche a commencé par un entretien téléphonique avec le N+1 (d’une durée de 30 minutes) puis un entretien en présentiel avec 1 personne des RH ainsi que le N+1 (environ 1 heure)
Le processus de recrutement s'effectuait en 2 étapes via 2 entretiens :
Premier entretien téléphonique avec le N+1
Deuxième entretien en présentiel avec le N+1 ainsi qu'avec une personne des Ressources Humaines
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at DB Schenker in Apr 2021
Interview
Ive had multiple rounds of interviews with different stakeholders. In the end, there were 5 or 6. Which was okay for me, because I was not actively looking for a job. The process itself was extremely slow and stretched out up to 4 months. My advice - have patience with HR.
