I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Keyence (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2024

I first met a recruiter from the company at a university career fair on campus:

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you go about adapting a product implementation to better suit the clients needs?
Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Keyence

The interview process starts with an informational session. After that, you complete a digital interview assessment, and only those who pass move on to a traditional Zoom interview. There are definitely a lot of stages you have to pass to get to the final round.

Question 1
They may conduct a mock sales conversation where you will have to sell them something. Or they may ask you what you think will be the hardest part of the job.
Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
