Group Case Presentation Behavioral Technical

The hiring process started with a group interview at IEL in Curitiba, which was pretty relaxed. On the same day, those who passed got a business case to prepare a PowerPoint presentation and send it the next day, also quite easy. The ones who passed this stage were then invited for an interview at Brose in São José dos Pinhais. When we got there, they asked us to give a short self-introduction in English. Then, we had to present the case we had emailed. After this, they entered the room and announced they would select 3 people out of the 8 present to move forward. They called out the names, and those not called could leave. I was one of the three chosen, and then we had an individual interview. They explained that the three of us were approved for the position; one would start in January, and the other two would be put in a talent pool for future openings, without needing to reapply. They also said they would email us the results. I never got any feedback from the company, only an automated message from IEL saying the process had closed. I don't know if the other two were contacted, but it seems they weren't.

Processo muito bom, tivemos as inscrições, depois uma entrevista em grupo na IEL (responsável pelos estágios). Os que passaram receberam no mesmo dia um retorno e um case a ser entregue no dia seguinte. Depois disso, houve outra entrevista em grupo na própria empresa, onde apresentamos os cases e fizemos uma breve fala em inglês. Os que passaram desta fase foram destinados a uma entrevista individual com o RH. Os dois que passaram por esta etapa foram encaminhados para uma entrevista com o gestor da área. Eu passei por todas as etapas, mas não fui selecionado(a), mesmo assim, achei o processo bom pois é bem amplo e permite que possamos nos mostrar em diferentes momentos.

The first phase is the opening, where you start with self-introduction, talk about the department size, and what you will be doing in this department. Then comes the interview phase, covering strengths and weaknesses, professional experience, important qualifications, and reasons for choosing this university. Finally, there are follow-up questions about compensation and whether there will be a second round, concluding the process.
