I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Robbinsville, NJ) in Aug 2008
Interview
There interview process is easy. HR calls you they give you a brief interview and if they like you they ask you to come in for a interview. When you come in for the interview the process consist of about 3-4 people interviewing you individually and then you leave. If they like you the call a shortly after the interview and offer you the position

Other Customer Service Representative Interview Reviews for McMaster-Carr
Initial screen with a recruiter and then a 2.5 hour interview on site with behavioral questions, mock work situations, and a tour. They were upfront about the interview process and it was easy to schedule.

Question 1
Tell us about a time that you had to prioritize and the outcome.
Multiple interviews following a tour of the facility. Interviews were separated by a long gap with the candidate left alone in a conference room adjacent to the bullpen. Strange, two sentence writing prompt that applies to multiple scenarios.

Question 1
How would your current role apply to this position?
Went through 2 rounds of hour long interviews, an application, and a writing prompt. Promptly responding to followups and additional requests, only to receive a generic rejection email. It feels so incredibly disrespectful to not even get the courtesy of a phone call, after you set aside time energy and effort to be available for hours out of your day. Especially in the current climate where the average candidate is making is spending the hourly equivalent of a full time job just applying for jobs. It’s frustrating to give your absolute best for an interview and then get some scripted letter in return.
