I applied online. I interviewed at Keyence (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
This was during Covid, so the interview was completely online. There was a logic portion and a question/answer portion. The logic test asked questions that required critical thinking and reasoning. Most of the questions were straightforward and easy to answer. The question and answer portion required recording myself answering question prompts that one would expect in an interview. There was only one chance to record and only 3 minutes allotted per question. I had 5 questions to respond to.

Question 1
Pick something in the immediate area and make a sales pitch with it.
Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Keyence
Interview
The interview process starts with an informational session. After that, you complete a digital interview assessment, and only those who pass move on to a traditional Zoom interview. There are definitely a lot of stages you have to pass to get to the final round.

Question 1
They may conduct a mock sales conversation where you will have to sell them something. Or they may ask you what you think will be the hardest part of the job.
Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
