I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Aurora, OH)
Interview
I was contacted by HR via email asking if I would be interested in learning more about a possible opportunity. Next, was a phone interview/discussion with the same HR recruiter that emailed me. After the phone interview was an onsite interview (was interviewed 1:1 by multiple managers and HR staff). A day or two later I was made an offer.

Question 1
How you use research to resolve conflict or issues
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Aurora, IL) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview has 3 main components a tour in which you are expected but not told to answer questions, an interview portion and a situational problem-solving activity. It lasted a whole afternoon. The interview was very helpful in getting an understanding of the work since the job description is not very clear. I would suggest that interviewees are very familiar with their website since it is what everyone uses to answer questions on the job. The business looked well run and like the employees were generally happy.
