Behavioral Technical
I applied at JTI earlier this year and three weeks later, I got the chance to interview. First was a phone interview with a recruiter that lasted over 30 mins. She was nice and professional, and made me feel comfortable. Next was the Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment, which was easy and just showed who I am. The third round was a face-to-face interview with a regional manager and two district managers. It lasted about an hour. They asked straightforward questions, and I felt I answered them well. I researched the company and job beforehand and had prepared some strong answers. The regional manager even said he liked me. However, the next day I got an email saying they chose other candidates. I'm not sure what I did wrong since I had high hopes. The whole process took over 6 weeks, which was long. I was disappointed but I figure others might have had more to offer. Hope this helps!

Behavioral Technical Other
You start by applying online and uploading your resume. If you pass that, there's a telephone interview with HR. They'll ask you some questions about yourself and check your English skills (they won't warn you when they're going to call). Afterwards, you'll get numerical and verbal reasoning tests via email. If you pass those, you'll have a one-on-one interview with the same HR person where you'll need to describe situations where you faced difficulties. Following that, there's an Excel test. If you succeed in that, you'll interview with the line manager. If they like you, you'll receive an offer.
