I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Kuala Lumpur) in Jun 2020
Interview
Normally, the interview process will first starts off with a phone interview and next is the interview with the sales department and finally an interview with the director within the respective country. These interview sessions with Keyence actually equipped me with certain interview skills that are required in order to pass the interviews, hence, even if wasn't offered, I am more than grateful to have taken some kind of skills from the interviews to the next interview sessions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Compare two of the pens, one with lower price ( competitor) and another with much higher price (Keyence) and try to convince the client to buy the much higher products.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Keyence in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process was undoubtedly hard. I was able to skip the HireVue/Technical Knowledge Test as I was referred by a recruiter. I had one traditional interview where I went through my resume and talked about my strengths, then I had the sales roleplay which I had never done but managed to complete with a lot of research and practice. They give you this info weeks before your final roleplay. After the roleplay I went into one more final behavioral interview where I felt like they were assessing my ability to think on my feet. They did not ask very traditional questions like why Keyence, they were higher level. They will ask you to evaluate your performance on the roleplay as well. Overall the interview process was hard but I feel like it matched the intensity of the expected performance in the position, and it did seem very efficient. I appreciated that they put so much work into finding the right candidate. I didn't feel like I did very good overall.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Keyence
Interview
My interview process consisted of two rounds. Was flown out to Chicago to role play one of their products. Thirty minutes of behavioral was pretty typical. The thirty minutes of technical role play was on the more difficult side - thought it went well but wasn't given an offer.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Keyence (Hanoi) in Apr 2026
Interview
In the initial round, i have quick interview with the HR staff, and a 30 minutues IQ test (the test was moderate level i think)
I think all people there all pass Round 1 tho
