I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hilti North America in Oct 2010
Interview
Very long process. Took over three months from initial interview. Felt like they were stringing me along or perhaps they were just not that interested but I have learned that this is the norm. There were too many layers to meet with and it seemed like you were the at the bottom of the priority list. If you survive this you still have the two weeks in Oklahoma before you are cleared to work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They will ask you to do a mock sales call. Hint there is no right way of doing this correctly. They will beat you down I think they want to see how you handle pressure
the process was easy however took weeks for them to make an official offer. Once the offer is accepted the, the process to onboard and time in the field is quick before being sent to training.

Question 1
What was a challenging situation you have been in where you were able to come out and win a bid
Long and messy. Their HR department and upper management need to get it together. I wasted a lot of time. Not a pleasant experience. I did one phone interview and two zoom interviews and didn’t hear back until I called them.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hilti North America (Columbus, OH)
Interview
First interviewed with the human resource associate via phone. Scheduled an interview with the regional manager at a Hilti Store. Normal questions you would expect as an experienced sales professional. Also participated in a ride along with a Sr. Sales person for a day. He provided an evaluation back to the regional manager I had interviewed with previously. I had prepared several questions for the sales ride along in an effort to understand the requirements of the position, what skill sets successful sales people possessed, etc....
