5. Interview/Assessment Center

A request on our part for you to come in for an interview or visit an Assessment Center means that you have successfully passed the first important hurdle in the hiring process and must now convince us in person of your suitability for the job.

A Bayer Direct Services staff member will usually call you to set up an appointment. The people who interview you in our offices or at an Assessment Center will be from the department in which the position you are applying for is located. If you have any administrative issues that need to be dealt with (e.g. reimbursement for travel costs), you can call the Bayer Direct Services team hotline (+ 49 214 30 99 779) or send an e-mail to: hrdirect@bayerbds.com.

If you are applying for technical jobs or positions in the natural sciences, you will be given a hiring interview that will give you a key opportunity to present yourself in a convincing manner. In addition to allowing you to convey your personality, the interview will give you an opportunity to learn more about the position you are applying for. In other words, don't be afraid to ask us questions!

If you are applying for commercial positions, you will generally be given an initial interview over the phone, which might then be followed by an invitation to you to visit an Assessment Center. Your visit to an Assessment Center will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your verbal and analytical skills and provide evidence that you are capable of working competently and with dedication both alone and in a team, and that your personality blends in well with our organization.

⇒ The average duration of an interview/Assessment Center visit is one day.
