Recruiter reached out and did an initial screening. After that, I interviewed with the area manager who really did a good job getting to know me and passed me on to the final stage interview with the regional manager. I didn’t get the job, but overall it was a great process with the processes, clarity and honesty you’d expect from a good company.

I was really keen to join Hilti because their values align perfectly with mine and I've heard great things from others. I did my homework and came prepared. Although I applied for an Account Manager role, and have a strong marketing background, the hiring team suggested I might be a better fit for a marketing position and to watch for openings in that area. It felt like they overlooked my potential, despite their own company's messaging about employees coming from diverse backgrounds.
