I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Elmhurst, IL)
Interview
A recruiter called me after finding my resume online. After discussing what I was looking for in a new position, she told me about some opportunities they had available. We then set up an in person interview. I met with two different managers and was then asked back for a second interview to sit with someone in the department to see what the position entailed first hand. A few days later, I was called with an offer for a position that was NOT what I had initially interviewed for. They asked if I would be interested in coming in for a third interview to discuss the position they had offered me. I declined as I was not interested in the position that was being offered at that time.
Call with recruiter then onsite interview at the Elmhurst facility. Toured the facility as a first interview then spoke with another manager as the second interview. Then, took an assessment answering simulated customer questions.
2 online interviews, 1 with a recruiter. The process was easy. They asked about my background and why I want to work for them. There were a few behavioral/ hypothetical questions.
Discovery call with recruiter then a formal interview over zoom call. Very nice people, curious about your work experience and perception of company. Very informative about the company and structure, almost no info about role that you will be in.
