They used a series of questions to understand my nature, attitude, and safety thoughts. There was also a psychology test with jumbled questions. I'm not sure how they got my resume and details; I think they mostly use LinkedIn and other sources for recruitment, not traditional hiring methods. The HR person only has access to your resume and finds candidates. Managers are assigned specific questions. The Branch Manager interviews candidates, and the Assistant Manager observes. If the HR decision and the Managers' decision match, job offers are given.
