Kiehl's Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 months)

I interviewed with Kiehls for an HR position. Kiehls is a division of L'OREAL and I met with their recruiter first, who then recommended me to meet with a senior HR person at Kiehls. The process took several long weeks, I was told repeatedly that I was still a candidate, however, I was never called back for a second interview at Kiehls nor updated if the position had been filled. The L'OREAL recruiter referred me for other positions in the L'OREAL family, but again the process was long and drawn out. I finaled ceased contact. I think their process is indicative of a large corporation trying to determine how to best staff their teams when open positions arise. The interviews themselves were quite good, but the lengthy follow up process was unacceptable, especially for busy professional people.
