Question 1
Why do you think you'd be a good fit for this position?
Long interview process that took several months. I was told multiple times how interested they were but slow follow-up. For a global executive search firm, their own hiring process was pretty clunky. Offer made was lower than originally discussed.

Question 1
Have you recruited for industrial manufacturing organizations? What roles?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Korn Ferry (Zúrich) in Jul 2022
Interview
interviews, catch ups. With different stakeholders. Also with Country Manager. Some F2F some online. It was very pleasant but a bit of long process. I met with a bunch of different people. Very pleasant. Always very well accompanied.
