Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Fastenal.
Supply Chain Analyst
The first round was pretty easy and basic. They just asked about my background, experience, and when I'm available. Nothing technical or complicated, it was just a casual chat.
- Can you tell us about your skills and why you're a good fit for this position?
Buyer
I got a call from HR asking basic details. Then the hiring manager called and talked salary before setting up an interview. HR didn't call again. The first 30 min interview was with the hiring manager, who asked around 20 questions. After that, there was a 1.5 hour panel interview where they asked 20-25 questions. They also had a third unofficial call and then confirmed the offer. But a few days later, they sent a rejection.
- Can you tell me about your skills?
- What's your understanding of Fastenal?
- What's most important to you in a job?
Supply Chain Analyst
So, at Fastenal, the interview process is pretty straightforward, it's like three parts. First, you'll chat with HR, just to see if you're qualified and if you'd fit in. Then, you'll talk to the hiring manager, and they'll want to know about your technical skills and if you're a good match for what they need. The last bit is a panel interview with the manager and someone else from the team, where they check out how you work with others and tackle problems. They might throw in some technical questions too, just to make sure you vibe with the company's culture and values.
- Tell me about a time you had to solve a problem when you were under pressure.
