Jardine Matheson is a reputable company so I wouldn't expect anything more than professional recruiting process. They followed strictly to timeline and the responses were prompt. Selection process and selection criteria were stated on their website clearly: all applications were auto screened by computers by points (mostly individuals who have had international exposure will get through this), then an invite for video submission following by a video interview with HR which was right after they received the video. The interview covered generic questions about myself, why Jardines, what sub-company, why SEATS, my purposes and goal, etc. The last stage was Assessment Center which included Panel Interview. There were 6 candidates (for Vietnam only) comprising a mix of academic backgrounds and working experiences. All of us were comfortable with beverages and food supplies and nice accommodation. In the beginning there was an introduction of HR (AC) team and any guests and a brief about Jardines and its companies and which are in need of new talents in the country. Then they showed us what assessment type and tests were there during the day, all clear with purposes of each assessment. Only candidates chosen/passed the morning tests would progress to the afternoon round. The morning round included aptitude tests and leadership ability following by a group discussion. The afternoon round was individual presentation and interviews. Jardines chose Role play exercise to assess individual leadership skills. However, because it was individual assessment and the panel was not enough people to assess everyone at the same time, in case you're the last one (like I was), make sure you got enough sleep the day before and take sufficient amount of calories during the day to maintain your performance. There was no fixed quota of how many candidates would be selected but the maximum ought to be 50%. Overall, the program is created to build future leader and the training program is very intense and on point, thus, the difficulty of assessment should be according to it.
