Application Process & Interviews at Sanofi Australia & New Zealand

I was required to an online assessment, phone screen and 2 interviews.

Hiring process is quite extensive, but this is because they want to ensure they are hiring the best candidates and seeing the full picture of each person.

There was a number of steps in the recruitment process including, the online application, at home assessments, phone interviews and an assessment center at the office. The process is obviously a bit daunting at first, but once you get into it it's fine and very achievable.

Applied online through external recruiting website, had phone screen, then 2 rounds of interviews (1. related to my CV and 2. presentation of business scenario).

Resume / Cover Letter Phone screen Assessment centre with teamwork role play, interview and case study All the processes were quite seamless. Assessment centre day was extremely welcoming and friendly versed others that are just about structure.

A good experience.

Consists of 3 stages: 1. Group interview where we were asked to solve a problem as a group. 2. Take home assessment/project (24 hours to complete and present). 3. Interview with manager and HR.

1. Online application 2. Video Interviews 3. Assessment Centre 4. Technical Interview 5. Behavioral Interview 6. Online Psychometric Examination 7. Offer

The hiring process was quite extensive with 3 different components (group problem, individual problem, and individual interview)

#NAME?

Questions about previous experience & questions about how you would react in particular situations.

Why did I want to work here, questions about my degree, scenario-based questions

About my degree, my interest in the role, but mostly STAR questions relating to the company values.

Previous experience Demonstrations of teamwork Demonstration of innovation

Why Sanofi? What are you strengths? How will you strengths help you at Sanofi? Reflective questions? Creative questions

I was predominantly asked to explain how I have embodied certain behaviors and qualities (such as problem solving, leading, taking action, teamwork, etc).

Do some research on the company. They will ask you questions aligned to the company values.

Make sure they know about their past experiences. Also prepare to answer questions using the STAR format.

My tips would be to save the company�s number in your phone so that if they call you ack it doesn�t catch you by surprise. I would also recommend arriving at the Assessment center early so that you aren�t flustered when you arrive.

Research the company - their values etc. to demonstrate your interest in the company as well as the specific role.

Be prepared for questions, be yourself and try not being extremely nervous.

Understand what's happening at Sanofi in the news. What ae our business units. Most importantly, why are you interested in working here.

To understand if you will be a good fit, you should have an idea of what you want out of the experience and what qualities you're looking for in an employer. Be able to explain clearly what you can offer and also what Sanofi can offer you.

Sanofi Values honesty and sincerity - be genuine and honest about your level of skill, willingness to learn and every aspect of who you are.

Candidates should definitely spend time preparing and coming up with the examples of when they have risen to the occasion and exuded strong interpersonal qualities. Overall though, don't necessarily try to impress anyone, be yourself, and ask questions in the interview.
