I interviewd with a headhunter first. She then sent my resume to the hiring manager. It was single onsite Interview with the department manager. We spoke for about 2 hours, asking engineering questions and hypothetical questions.
The interview started with a talk with two internal engineers. They then showed the production and testing facility. This was all very professionally done and very impressive to witness. The interview was very intense and very technical.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ZF Group (Solihull, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
I applied through their website. I included my CV and cover letter. Received a first telephone interview with a HR recruiter in Germany. The next stage was another telephone interview the Engineering Manager at ZF. Prior to the face-to-face interview I was invited to complete psychometric tests which comprised of numerical and verbal reasoning. The final interview concentrated on how your background suits the role, so essentially whether you had a great knowledge of FEA, ease of manufacture and interpreting drawings. The engineering manager delved into what I had covered at university. Subsequently I had a graceful privilege of having brief tour around the area.
