What is the hiring process at Abbott?

• Technical knowledge that the candidate can apply in a business environment

• Leadership - being passionate about taking on new responsibilities, while also being accountable to goals and objectives

• Integrity - being true to yourself, a willingness to understand what your strengths and weaknesses are, and the courage to take calculated risks

You apply for a job at Abbott on the company's website, where you can also find key information about what they look for in candidates. After you apply, an Abbott recruiter reaches out to you to do an initial phone screening.

If you pass this phone screening, you enter the interview phase. This consists of a number of interviews with team members and management. These interviews can be in-person or on video, and are either one-on-one or in panel format. Questions in your interviews with Abbott might include:

• How does your past experience translate to this role?

• Explain how you work through performing your job in a time-sensitive situation while under pressure.

• Tell me about a time when you had to implement a change. How did you do it?

Certain tech-related roles also have you take a company assessment test during the hiring process. This can be completed online.

Before you are officially hired, Abbott conducts a background check on you and asks that you submit to a drug screening. The average time length of the hiring process at Abbott is a few weeks to a month.
