I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Baker Hughes in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview was an initial screening with the talent acquisition team, and the time taken to setup an interview from there was really promising.
The interview was with the hiring manager and another colleague, which was relaxed. The interview was good, conversational and informative. No complaints here.
I was told I would hear back within 2 weeks, but was completely ghosted even after contacting the HM & talent acquisition directly.
