Fresh graduates are encouraged to apply (CGPA > 3.5 or similar grading is a must, and Master is an advantage)

Recently I have found Hilti job posting in jobstreet, I saw the above requirement, is it really a must for CGPS>3.5 or similar grading? May I know anyone who do not have CGPS>3.5 or similar grading tried to apply and successfully to interview?

Apply , no reply .. >3.5 is a must.

APPLY > INTERVIEWED and fail at second interview. cgpa <3.5

Wow...that y I always saw the same job posting of Hilti in jobstreet la...honestly...during my study last time...only less than 10 people CGPA>3.5...let imagine these people no going to apply Hilti...that y they hardly to hire?

To which position did you apply? what kind of questions did they ask? The second round is the techincal round right?

i believe this is not the reason....
the main reason is alot of people resign from the company..thus alot of job opportunity from the company..


if the company have variety of job opportunity and do not have new project/client...you have a idea about this company..
turnover high can be mean bad benefit, low pay, stressful environment or very politic..

so choose wisely and ask more question about company when interview

As business for Hilti is good, Hilti Asia IT Services is actively expanding in Malaysia and doubled the headcount over the last 2.5 years. As Hilti IT wants to add another 50 jobs over the next 3 years, the job postings remain the same. Financial details for the Hilti group can easily be found in the web.
Fluctuation came down to 11% for 2012 and is less than 8% for this year, so there is not a lot of people resigning from Hilti IT.

But the last point maskedchan makes is valid: Inform yourself about your future employer (or ask during the interview)!

Chris

I know some of the top level Engineering and Business people in Schaan.

i fail my interview .....hilti dont like me..

Hi, Chris. have you ever attended the hilti's interview? it seems that you have done loads of homework on hilti.
i would like to ask, during the interview, roughly what type of questions they might ask.... lets say, during their first interview.

as i attended some interviews around, there are basically two types.
1. it is a technical interview, specially for IT or technical related positions. asking about programming related stuff.
2. it can be a pure HR interview to evaluation the candidates' characteristics, personalities, communication skills and so on.

sometimes it is hybrid...

so for hilti, if it is the first interview(by phone), what it is about?
i am just afraid they can't get much of me just by phone....

by the way.... how is the salary there?

hope to get some insight from experienced one like you.

Hmm, yes, I have attended some interviews at Hilti.

The technical questions were quite short, mainly to check what is stated in your CV. As I applied for a senior position at that time, we started quite soon a good technical discussion... but the majority of questions is about the mindset of the candidate and whether (s)he fits the company's core values.

The first interview is done by phone to find out the very basics about you (and for you about Hilti), to identify gaps in your CV and finally to decide about to move on, the subsequent interview rounds are walk-in, eventually including a video conference interview.

Payment is good, not like O&G or consulting but around 3.3k per month for fresh grads.

yes,just wondering they will ask academic result.Interviewed before too,for me their team sound like alot Chinaman style and interviewer english abit broken.During interview,i feel it,maybe i sense wrong.

Good for u ... i fail second interview last year

thank you for the insight. so your suggestion is to find out some info of the company that i am about to be interviewed?
so they would ask some questions like "how much do you know our company"?

so far as i know hilti is like Bosch, who is making all kinds of tools for construction... from hammer to electronic drills and so on...
and it is a German comany...

can you elaborate a bit "Chinaman style", except their English might be a bit broken?

Why they are so concerned about the academic results?
Someone may work for several years or graduate like 10 years ago from their undergraduate degree....

Hi ChrisB,

Indeed i saw few openings for SAP position in Hilti, I'm certified SAP associate but only with 1 year working experience, may I know roughly what the expected salary range will be? (as I dont want to set some outrageous amount neither too low of an amount)

Are you working in Hilti now?

which module are you in? if u never tell how people can advise u?

another reason is hilti people left and join competitor like FOSROC, SIKA, MAPEL

cos you are not their targeted customer, simple as that

Im certified in SAP Business Objects - Web Intelligence
