I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Expeditors (Inwood, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
Be prepared for situation / action / result questions. You will be asked a lot of these and they will grade your responses. You need to display action taken, and quantified results. Experience isn't as import and open mindedness to change and adopting the "Expeditors way" of doing business.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you had to overcome adversity to get something done. What did you do? What was the end result.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Expeditors (Paris)
Interview
A lengthy recruitment process, but one that reveals a great human-centered work culture.
Interview with the hiring manager:
This initial step involved classical interview questions focused on strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. What stood out was the strong emphasis on soft skills and interpersonal qualities rather than purely technical abilities. The interview aimed to assess cultural fit and emotional intelligence, highlighting the company’s values.
Interview with a member of the HR team:
The second stage involved a conversation with someone from Human Resources. This interview reinforced the company’s people-first approach. It delved deeper into personality, communication style, and long-term career aspirations, further emphasizing the importance of alignment with the company culture.

I interviewed at Expeditors (Santo Domingo) in Nov 2022

Very informal process. They set an appointment for a role and then changed to another role. Afterwards they changed several times the interview appointment dates. I did not get an offer because after first interview it was clear was not the place for me.
