The overall process was very structured and time tested from almost 50+ years. The following are the major stages of selection:
1. Shortlisting of the application we send based on the application form and reasons on why you want to join Hawkins Cookers.
2. Written Test of the shortlisted candidates.
3. Document verification, GD and Panel interview of qualified candidates.
4. Medical Tests.
SHORTLISTING:
There is no specific format for the application form, however a best format suitable can be created. Reasons why you want to join Hawkins is to be hand-written and sent to Personnel Head. Shortlisting for written test takes 4-5 months.
WRITTEN TEST:
1. Consists of 3 papers/sections of 75 minutes each with 15 minutes break between each paper.
2. 1st paper is reasoning of easy level
3. 2nd paper is based on a company product brochure that is given to us at the time of exam.
4. 3rd paper is based on English comprehension paragraph writing questions.
GD & PI:
1. Usually group of 9 people are made in GD who discuss on a topic given by the GD board. The CEO, ED - F&A and Personnel Head observe our performance in the GD.
2. These 9 people now appear for the individual Interview infront of a panel consisting of the CEO, ED- F&A and Personnel Head.
3. Soon after the PI, we wait for 15 minutes and result declaration is done confidentially by one-on-one interaction to selected candidates. Selected candidates move ahead for their Medicals. (Out of 9, 4 got selected)
NOTE: The panel interview while interviewing us had all our documents like application form, reasons why we want to join, our test paper answer sheets and educational documents copy. So being consistent is important as they easily cross check whatever you speak during the interview to check your integrity.

Those found with medical issues (usually 60 % people carry medical issues) are called again after 20-30 days for re-medicals.
JOINING:
Appointment letter is generated in 20-30 days after finding us fit in medicals.
