1. Hired through an agency, the first interview was with the recuiter (Elby). A general discussion on background, experience, attitude to see if there was a possible fit. 2. Second interview was essentially an internal screening meeting. General questions, and a more in depth discussion about experience and attitudes to confirm a potential fit. An in depth on-line personality assessment was done that included elements of behavioural, motivational, and competency levels around technical, language, and communications. 3. Having passed 1 and 2, the next meeting was with the President to discuss fit, and aspects of leadership style, financial awareness, and operational skills. 4. Next, met with the entire local management team with a discussion around leadership style, answer questions on my background, skills, and how I would handle specific issues they were presently dealing with. 5. Having passed those, I was invited to HQ in Indiana where I spent the day with the corporate leadership team and local general manager. 6. I was then invited to HQ for a couple of days to attend their AGM in Indiana with leadership from each plant and owners from Japan (at this point I'm still not an employee) 7. An offer was then made through the Agency (in step 1) (this process took a couple of months)
