A three-stage interview process. The first is a pre-screen call from a Vestas hiring centre that was located in a different country. The second was a short, ad hoc/cursory telephone conversation with a site manager, and the last was a continuation on the latter’s theme with the same site manager, but extended to 20 minutes this time. The entire process was so poorly orchestrated, and so inept, that partway through my final interview I was praying that I’d get a call from another potential employer who received my application a week earlier in a non-related industry. Enough was inadvertently conveyed by the freshly-appointed site manager that spoke volumes about the undesirability of the job that it came as a relief not to have an offer extended to me. There wasn’t anything job-specific that sounded alarm bells, but the culture of the company, and it’s expectations, left everything to be desired, as they anticipate that even in your time away from Vestas, you will be bettering yourself in activities that will directly benefit the company. Another facet that was inadvertently conveyed by the site manager was the extremely high turnover in the company, and his inability to give straight answers to straight questions, as he contradicted himself on so many occasions that I was wondering how he managed to get the position to begin with. In the end, it was a blessing to be exposed to the company through its intemperate site manager, as it then wasn’t a loss to not be offered the position.

Used a canned robot video interview followed with a skills test to screen before interviewing. Use a computer for this phase a small phone is not a good option to pass the skills test. Questions asked are very judgmental not work related more of a social warrior type.
