I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hilti North America
Interview
Hilti begins with a conference call with the regional or territory professionals. The actual in-person interview was fairly straight forward and simple. The interview had very little structure, although it seemed as if the interviewers are required to cover some established questions set by corporate. Overall, the process wasn't extremely involved. Most company people I talked to were awesome and helpful, however, the process turned sour shortly after the offer. Make sure the management is dependable and amicable before signing.

Interview
The interview process was a computer program skills analysis, followed by a series of virtual interviews. The interviews are long and drawn out but fairly aligned with most HR style “tell me about a time…” interviews.

How do you deal with conflict? How would you manage your sales territory?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hilti North America (Houston, TX) in Aug 2017
Interview
I had been applying to Hilti for over a year and was already in touch with one of the recruiters. First, the recruiter does a quick phone screen to see if you're a good fit. Then, I interviewed with the director of the group. If the manager/director likes you, then you will be invited on a field ride to see a day in the life. If all goes well and your potential co-workers give positive feedback then they extend you the offer.
