First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Bostik.
Project Manager
I had a positive first HR interview, and they confirmed I was moving to the next step. Unfortunately, despite reaching out several times, I never got any feedback. I'm quite disappointed because I was really interested in the opportunity, and I believe clear communication is really important. As a candidate, I take the time to prepare and make myself available, so I feel like the respect should go both ways. An answer, even a no, is always part of a respectful and professional process.
- Could you introduce yourself?
- What makes you want to apply for this position with us?
- How do you handle stress?
Business Development Manager
The hiring journey involved a few conversations. It started with a chat with Talent Acquisition, then I spoke with the person who's the main owner of the job, and to wrap it up, there was this panel thing with some of the higher-ups at their main office in France.
- What skills and experience do you have that would help you excel in this role?
- What motivates you to seek a new job opportunity?
- Are you open to relocating for this position?
Analyst
So, it was like a 4-step thing. First, a quick call with a Human Resources assistant, she threw some random questions about my past work, what I'm looking for, and then we set up a time to meet the HR chief in person. Next up was a face-to-face chat where we talked about actual tasks from my old jobs and why I'd be a good fit. Then, I had a video call with the HR Manager, who basically asked the same stuff but was a bit more intense with her questions. The last interview was with the plant manager, and we covered things like how I handle processes, teamwork, and if I'm up for traveling.
- What is your understanding of Bostik, and what makes you a suitable candidate for us, given your lack of experience in this area?
- Can you elaborate on your previous work experiences and what you are looking for in a role?
- What specific accomplishments or skills from your past roles make you a strong candidate for this position?
Chemist
I had a recruiter call where they asked me some behavioral questions and about my salary expectations. The hiring manager then called me for a phone interview that lasted about an hour. About two weeks later, I came in for a panel interview and a tour. It was a positive experience overall, though I didn't get an offer. They did provide lunch.
- Can you tell me what you know about Bostik?
- What are your long-term career aspirations for the next five years?
- What are your key strengths and can you explain why you consider them strengths?
