Hilti Group CAD/BIM Modeler interview questions

I went through a lengthy and rather frustrating interview process for the roles of BIM Lead Modeller and BIM Modeller at Hilti, spanning around six and a half months. The process started with an initial HR interview at the end of March, followed by a co-ride to explain the roles in more detail. Afterward, I had interviews with team leads, and the final interview was with a business partner. The initial HR interview and the ones with the team leads were focused heavily on personality and behavioral questions. While I understand the importance of such questions, this felt more like an interrogation than a conversation. The interviewers had laptops in front of them, typing down everything I said, and the questions—like "What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning?" and "What does your family say about you?"—were repeated in each interview. It became uncomfortable, and I felt like I was talking to walls. The responses to my questions were also disappointingly generic, almost as if everyone was reading from the same script. The only exception was the co-ride, where the person gave authentic, human answers. That was a refreshing change, but it didn’t make up for the overall experience. I probably gave off some dissatisfaction during the later stages, which might have contributed to not receiving an offer. After such an impersonal process, I can't help but wonder why they emphasized valuing employees and potential hires when they treat candidates this way.

I had a video call with a HR representative. They gave a introduction to the company and what they do and then continued on to a interview style conversation. Very friendly and well informed.
