I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Michelin in Oct 2014
Interview
Hired through a recruitment agency, with an initial interview through them before an assessment centre at Michelin. Assessment centre involved a group exercise, one on one interview and various psychometric tests. A challenging day but enjoyable as the staff are genuinely interested in getting to know you and how well you would settle in to the company. I was invited back for a second interview a week later and a tour of the site and was offered the position the same day.

The first interview with the HR is you tipycal "get to know you" type, altough it focuses a bit on the way you think (some questions regarding yuor overall outside the box thinking may pop up - ex.

The second interview is actually an 8 hour test wich can focused on your thinking mainly and also with psihological evaluation factors (letting you wait, missleading you etc.). The test is comprised of time based IQ exercises (reconstruct the image in a set time, identify the pattern etc) and also 1-2 optimization exercises (you have these pieces and a platfor- what is the optimal number of transports and the optimal batch etc) also there may be an exercies regarding the fluctuation of material stocks.

Be advised that interview 2 to 5 may happen in the same day for overall stress resistance evaluation purposes so you may be in for a pretty long day.
