I applied through university. I interviewed at Colgate-Palmolive (Nairobi) in Jun 2023
Interview
The process is easy. Starts with a n obvious application, an aptitude test, a group interview that involves multiple candidates being assessed simultaneously by one or more interviewers. It assesses teamwork, communication, and individual abilities through group discussions or activities. Finally a one one interview.
1st round: Basic HR interview - Go through your resume, describe past experiences, situational questions, etc.
2nd round: Fieldwork & solo case presentation - Groups are taken to different retail environments to observe. Each person then has to come up with a solo presentation with recommendations for the assigned store/s.
3rd round: 1 hr group case presentation (observed by panel) - Groups of 6 have 1 hr to solve a case and prepare a ppt presentation while being observed by a large panel. Each group then has to present while the other waits outside.
