Started with a recruiter and the process went smoothly. Was then connected to the Regional Manager for a follow up interview. The RM informed me early in the interview that they were really looking to promote from within and were just looking outside as part of the process.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at MSC Industrial Direct
The process was pretty standard, however, the interviews all occurred online and I met with several people over a few hour periods with HR at the front and end. I was mostly disappointed in the type of person they were looking for in terms of knowledge and previous experience.

InterviewI interviewed at MSC Industrial Direct
Very easy going process. It was a refreshing interview process where it was more of a transparent conversation versus the traditional 'by the book' 'tell me a time when' type questions. Also they consider you for other opportunities within the organization versus just closing the door and providing zero feedback to candidates.
Interview Questions
- more open conversation regarding capabilities.
