Behavioral Technical

It took over a month to even get an interview scheduled. The whole process was really long and drawn out, with more than 5 different people involved. Some of them seemed like they weren't really interested and only asked me one question.

It was a 3 stage process. First, a phone call with management. Then, an in-person interview with management. After that, a group interview with potential future colleagues, also in person. Following the in-person parts, there was a battery of tests, including some Myers-Briggs and IQ-style assessments, administered by a small company in downtown Cincinnati. The results of these tests were not shared with me.

First, an HR rep gave me a 20-minute phone call. Towards the end of that, they invited me to do a physical test the same week. The rep emphasized it's a physical job needing stamina and involves 12-hour shifts. Then, on a separate day at their facility, they tested my max grip strength, max bicep curl weight, and max lift with my back (legs locked, bent over, using hands) – all hooked to digital machines. They also did a hand-eye coordination/color test and a gear assembly test. The day after, HR called to say I wasn't moving forward because of the gear test. The HR rep was really nice though.
