I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kerry (Naas) in Sep 2019
Interview
The interview process took about a month. Firstly, I received a phone call from the Business support in which they've explained how the company was organised, explained more or less the job role. They asked some questions about what was my experience and interest in this position and at the end asked my availability to have a 1:1 interview in Naas. The first 1:1 interview was done two weeks later. It was a technical interview that took more or less 1 hour. Then I had a phone interview with the HR that took about 30 minutes where they evaluated my soft skills. Almost two weeks later I had my final 1:1 interview with the team director alongside with the HR.
