The hiring process started with submitting my resume on the company's career page. After an initial review, I had a virtual interview with a recruiter. The whole thing, from applying to the interview, wrapped up in under two weeks.

Behavioral

The application process and recruiting were very professional, but unfortunately with an unpleasant aftertaste (personal opinion). Several claims were made about my well-being during the conversation that were not true. For example, it was repeatedly claimed during and after the conversation that I was nervous, despite me repeatedly denying it. Maybe it was a test, who knows.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online for the field sales consultant position. After about 1.5 weeks, I received an email inviting me to a phone interview in three days. The call felt like a typical job interview. They asked about details from my resume, then asked why I applied to Hilti and why I want to go into sales. Overall, it was a very friendly conversation that lasted 20 minutes. I was then invited on the spot for an in-person interview at a Hilti Center in 4 weeks.
