I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Keyence (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2018
Interview
First a mechanical proficiency test, then a 20 minute Skype interview where they asked me to try to sell them on switching phone brands. Then a 30 minute in person interview where I had to sell a Keyence product to two managers.
Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

Tell me about yourself and to sell them a product I use everyday. They also asked for a time I showed dedication to achieve a goal.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Keyence
Interview
The interview process starts with an informational session. After that, you complete a digital interview assessment, and only those who pass move on to a traditional Zoom interview. There are definitely a lot of stages you have to pass to get to the final round.

Question 1
They may conduct a mock sales conversation where you will have to sell them something. Or they may ask you what you think will be the hardest part of the job.
Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
