I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps
Interview
Phone interview will be short and ask what you know about the company and how you heard of the company. If they decide to fly you to the district office for an interview, you will be interviewed by about 10 people ranging from entry level up to operations managers. They are looking for leaders and not so much technical experience. Most new hires are fresh college grads. It's hard to teach the Hensel Phelps Way to people in the industry. Then they sit in a room with pictures of the interviewees and decide together who to hire.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Great. They were very well organized for the interview process. It felt very personable, and I was able to be myself during the interview process. I enjoyed that they were so kind and interested in what my plans were apart from their company. They also encouraged me to pursue what I wanted to do whether their company was involved or not.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps (Irvine, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Initially met with a PM at a jobsite and then progressed to the district office in Irvine. Had round robbin style interview with 5 individuals. Very casual conversations during the round robbin interviews.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hensel Phelps
Interview
I talked to a recruiter at a career fair and a week later I was contacted for an interview at the reginal offices. They flew me in, all expenses covered. When I got there, I was introduced to the other 12 candidates. Shortly after, they took us to a jobsite and talked to us about the company. After that, they drove us to a restaurant with a bunch of current employees ranging from field engineers up to operation managers. Everybody was very friendly and talked greatly about Hensel Phelps.
The next morning all the candidates had to be at the regional offices by 8 A.M. for a quick breakfast and a short presentation about the company and its benefits. When the presentation was over, we were given a schedule with the name and room numbers of all 6 people who were interviewing us. The interviews where very relaxed and the interviewers where very friendly and conversational. Didn’t feel like an interview at all, it was more like a casual conversation. After the 6 interviews they gave us lunch and thanked us for attending. About a week later I was called by a recruiter and was offered a position.
