I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Uline (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2014
Interview
The process was very thorough; included three written/cognitive evaluations, two in-person behavioral screening interviews off-site, and an intense on-site interview with head of HR and a Sr. Recruiter. Every new hire is then evaluated and interviewed personally by Elizabeth Uihlein; who based on gut-feel will make or break a hire.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Delved into work ethic, people skills, communication skills (written and aural), and asked questions that pertained to one's own view of one's strengths and weaknesses. "What would your last boss say was your best strength and your most apparent weakness?"
This isn’t about the interview process. It’s about the job applications. I applied for roles at Uline where I met all the qualifications listed on the posting, yet I received a rejection email within a single day. I applied again after a couple of months and experienced the same immediate rejections repeatedly. It feels like candidate experience is not valued, and the postings may not reflect genuine hiring needs.
For my first interview in over 10 years, I think that it went smoothly. However, the interviewer kept looking to the side which made it distracting and it felt like he wasn't paying attention to my responses.
The interview lasted 30 minutes. Good questions asked. Clearly looking for someone who has experience in manufacturing, which I didn't have. Seems like a decent opportunity for growth for this person to get their new Columbus branch off the ground.
