I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Shell in May 2008
Interview
I was initially contacted by a headhunter (on retainer) for the role. I had an initial in-person interview with the headhunter and then went on site for a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager. That same day I also had 3 interviews with the my would-be peers.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
None -- it was really a straight-forward discussion of my background and how it did or did not fit their vision for the role.
