I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Stryker in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was pretty long and involved but seemed to be going smoothly. I had an initial screening with a recruiter as well as the hiring manager. This was followed by the Gallup interview about a week later, and a final interview panel that took place about a week or two after that. Due to scheduling conflicts with the interviewers, the final interview panel was spread across 2 weeks. The interviews all went pretty well, but I never heard back. The recruiter let me know he was still waiting, but I stopped hearing from him as well. After about 2 months, my application status was changed to "no longer under consideration".
Interview in an informal setting - followed by an invitation to apply for a specific role and completing the gallop personality assessment tool.
The Gallop is a major criteria for stryker and you will be cut from the hiring process if you do not fit the mold they're looking for.
After talking to the recruiter and the hiring manager - both conversations went very smoothly, not challenging, hiring manager very friendly - I got ghosted. Waiting for 2 weeks and then receiving an automatic rejection email, the one being sent to anyone who sends CV and gets rejected. No feedback, nothing. Never again.
HR recruiter didn't bother to read my resume for the screening call - assumed I had experience with the same product/market and started off with a question unrelated to what was on my resume. Also they use the US HR headquarters to interview Canadian candidates so they won't bother to screen you properly based on your local experience. Waste of my time and reflects poorly on a large company that can't hire a senior HR recruiter to do their one and only job to review a resume.
