Application Process & Interviews at Fulton Hogan

I think the interview process was pretty straight forward, the hiring team was pretty handy with everything. I could without hesitation be able to speak to them anytime I want. The assessments were easy to follow as well.

After I submitted my resume and cover letter, there were multiple interviews with various management and HR teams, which covered a variety of areas. We discussed university, work experience, and extracurriculars which allowed me to bring everything to the table.

Seemless, easy and enjoyable.

Interview process was very straight forward and easy to go through.

Very clear and easy to follow.

After initial application, I underwent a phone screening which was followed by an invitation to an 45 minute online interview with my current manager (Project Manager), Senior People and Capability Advisor and HR representative. Within 11 days, I was accepted and offered a place in the FH's 2023 Graduate Intake. Following this, the onboarding process included providing important documents for identification/ verification and a medical which I scheduled for the very next day after receiving the offer letter.

Very casual and comfortable.

Very well handled and always received responses when reaching out.

The interview process was the most relaxed interview I undertook in my search for a job, I was made to feel welcome and at ease, as well as being asked questions that I felt comfortable answering and allowed me to show myself off.

I was contacted via email and mobile. I had my interview where the people at my company allowed me to feel very comfortable in order to preform my best.

The interview process included submitting an application with a cover letter and resume. Then once accepted, I had to complete psychometric training (I think) and a digital interview. This digital interview was done in a way so that a question would appear on the screen and then I would have time to prepare for it, and then answer it. This answer was recorded. Finally I had to do the face to face interview.

The interview process was very simple and to the point. Throughout the interview, FH HR has made clear what they are looking for and what they can provide and asked me what I expect from them.

I applied, received an email saying I was shortlisted, received a call with further information about the job, had a formal interview over teams, offered the job.

Very comprehensive.

I was asked questions pretty much with regards to my past experience in Australia, and being an international student, the fact that they respected my internship experience was pretty helpful as that helped me crack the interview. The interview as a whole was pretty laid back which was the best part about the interview.

Generally around my education, previous experience and my hobbies to get to know me as a person. Explained a little about the role I would be undertaking if successful and also around the team members I will be working with.

This proves that you are interested in where the company is going.
