      What is the hiring process like at Caterpillar?

      Caterpillar reviews

      Their Recruitment Process is AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER

      Anonymous contractor
      Current contractor
      Lafayette, IN
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Regularly posting job positions to follow just to comply with internal policies

      Cons

      I have personally witnessed the ongoing rejection of qualified candidates for positions that appear to be filled by internal employees or their referrals, leading to concerns about the legitimacy of these job postings. This practice not only undermines the integrity of the hiring process but also wastes the time and effort of applicants who invest in applying for what are essentially "ghost jobs." It is crucial for organizations to ensure transparency in their recruitment processes to maintain trust and attract genuine talent.

      No Growth

      Anonymous employee
      Current employee
      Seguin, TX
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      there are opportunities to grow if you have the right management

      Cons

      Most management if your applying to move up already have someone in mind but will continue the hiring process to build the pool metric and mostly as a formality, This discourages anyone from applying elsewhere in the facility and my supervisor confirmed this when I mentioned a position I wanted to and she disclosed that the hiring manager already had someone in mind and didn't want me to waste my time
