Interview
Process starts with an Applicant Tracking System resume submission. Be sure to tailor your resume to the job description you are applying to. HR and Hiring managers receive 100's of resumes per day for most postings. If you are selected for an interview (either phone or in-person) it will be a structured interview process. A panel of at least two people will ask predetermined questions which are to be answered using the STAR approach. STAR asks you to describe a Situation, Tasks, Actions and Results for the given behavioral question. You are rated on what you answer during the interview. Do not assume your interviewer knows anything more about you and do not assume that they will pull additional information from your resume. The answer must stand on its own.
If you make it through the interview process, the hiring process can take six or more weeks to complete. Background checks and drug screens are standard. All your communication will be through your HR representative. You can "try" to negotiate some of the terms of the offer, but do not expect too much flexibility from the hiring managers. They are limited by what Global Staffing limits and ranges.
