I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Timken (Gaffney, SC)
Interview
I was called in for a Interview asked basic common sense questions as well as background and personal questions. Had to do a hair sample drug test, lift test, a urinalysis test and a hearing test.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Timken in Sep 2014
Interview
First interview is very laid back; they just want to get to know you. The university recruiter manager is very easy to talk to. I had a phone interview with the hiring manager about 5-6 weeks later, mostly asking about resume items and seeing if I would be a good fit for the group. It was about half an hour. After each interview I was asked if I had any questions. Great company to work for!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Timken (Canton, OH) in Apr 2011
Interview
The process began with dinner the evening before with an HR representative. They provided some expectations on what to anticipate the next day. The "internet" day consisted of a tour, a panel interview and lunch with employees in similar positions. After lunch, there were individual interviews with the direct supervisor and their boss.
