I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cryostar (Hésingue) in Mar 2024
Interview
Entretien avec la manager et la rh, questions coherentes et conversation très fluide. Pas de question inutile type qualité défaut pour ce poste. Il s'agissait d'un poste en interim, ceci explique peut etre cela
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cryostar in Aug 2023
Interview
First interview would be just a few minutes conversation with HQ HR to screen candidates and prepare the next meeting. Second interview by teams for about an hour includes HQ HR and Management from the HQ in France AND another regional director from the area you are applying. Third interviews was scheduled but they never showed up or sent emails to reschedule ! So I think it's rather disrespectful and for that reason I don't recommend to bother meeting them. Especially since their website states that they would always send a feedback afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They are focused to see if candidates have an engineering mindset but also hands on experience. I believe this is a business run by engineers first.
Nous sommes très étonnés car notre équipe recrutement confirme avoir contacté individuellement 100% des candidats rencontrés à l’issue du 2ème entretien, pour leur expliquer que nous n’irons pas plus loin dans le process pour ce poste. Bonne chance à vous pour la suite.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cryostar (Sheffield, England) in Sept 2017
Interview
Three stage interview
First stage was a general interview with management
Second stage was a further interview with management after shortlisting and visit team on workshop. Final stage similar to first
