LKQ Interview Questions
& Process

I interviewed for this role a few weeks ago, and the interview itself went well. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back, so I emailed the internal recruiter but got no response. After waiting another week, I requested feedback since I noticed the position was filled. This would be useful for my future interviews, but again, I received no reply. It's really unprofessional for a company to ghost candidates, especially when you're dealing with their internal recruiter. I guess it's a lucky escape.

They asked common questions about Routing & Switching, but the actual role is for Network Monitoring. They also discussed common network scenarios and the troubleshooting process in network infrastructure, focusing on diagnosing and resolving connectivity and performance issues efficiently.

HR reached out first, giving me the lowdown on how things would go and booking my first chat. It was four stages total, with a technical bit, some coding tasks, and chats about how I'd handle things. Each part was to check if I had the right skills for the job. Took about three weeks from the first HR contact to the last interview, where I got to show off my tech skills and how I solve problems.

The interview process for this role felt like it went on forever with very slow feedback. I initially applied through the LKQ careers page and was contacted by HR for a 30-minute technical phone interview. The call seemed to go well, and HR mentioned scheduling an onsite interview. I felt the interview was quite easy, aligning well with my resume and the job requirements. However, after that, I never heard back. I emailed to get an update, but received no response. It would be much more efficient if they could at least provide feedback, even if it's negative, rather than just leaving candidates in the dark. It makes me wonder why they conduct interviews if they aren't going to follow up on the status.
