1) The candidate is required to fill out a detailed written application, which includes “essay” questions detailing examples of relevant experience. 2) If selected as a finalist, the candidate will have a panel interview with 4-6 individuals. The panel generally includes the hiring manager, a representative from human resources, and additional individuals with expertise on the job and its duties. 3) The panel interview is generally conducted via phone due to the global nature of this organization and the fact that people are located in different cities. 4) The interview is focused on behavioral/competency questions. The job description includes detailed information about the required competencies, so the candidate has some idea of what he/she will be asked about. 5) Generally, the interview is about 40 minutes long. 6) After the interview, each panelist completes a detailed scoring sheet, rating the candidate in each competency. 7) The panel then reviews the scores, discusses the top candidates in more detail, and makes a decision.
