Applied online and reached out to the recruiter through LinkedIn. Recruiter was nice enough to give me a chance and look at my resume although I was slightly short of the required experience.
He decided to call me for an Indian phone screening. Great experience and was able to answer all questions related to my previous work experience. He referred me to the hiring manager for a full phone interview.
After a lengthy phone interview with the Reliability Manager which was laid back and more getting to know me, he invited me for an on site interview and plant tour.
Was interviewed all morning in three one hour interviews with 4 different people (maintenance manager, maintenance supervisor, reliability engineer and plant manager). Plant tour was provided by the reliability engineer and planner/scheduler. Fantastic overall experience and they answered any and all questions that I had.
They took me to lunch and allowed me to stay back to ask any further questions that I had. They were thorough in getting to know me and also allowed for me to thorough to get to know them. Was never intimidating and instead laid back despite the many technical and behavioural questions.
Last step was a phone interview with the HR manager who made sure that this was what I wanted and that I would be a good fit. Another great experience.
Before the offer was made, the HR manager and hiring manager called to explain the hiring process and different background and health checkups that I would need. They also explained the training process in the first few months and the program they set up for me. I have never been through such a personalized, accommodating and considerate hiring process.
