What is the hiring process at Bayer?

The hiring process at Bayer is multifaceted and includes a phone screening, possible assessment test, and interview rounds. The entire hiring process takes anywhere from two to four months, including the references check, background check, and drug test.

Application Process

If you decide Bayer is right for you, please check out their jobs database for available positions that match your skills and interests and follow the instructions to apply. In your profile, you can opt to receive job alerts about new job openings that align with your profile or interests.

If you want to be considered for a broader range of job openings, you can make your profile available to recruiters by checking the respective box in your candidate profile. Recruiters may then contact you about vacancies for which your skills are appropriate.

However, given the large volume of applications, there is no guarantee that you are contacted for all jobs for which you may be suited.

The profile automatically deletes after six months of inactivity. You may also delete or block access to your profile at any time. If you decide to apply to a position after deleting your profile, you must create a new profile. At any time, you can make your profile visible for a broader range of positions by checking the box to make it available to recruiters.

The online application requires that you upload a resume or manually fill out your work and educational experience. The application takes around five minutes to complete and asks basic questions about your work eligibility, contact information, and demographics.

Screening

Once they receive your resume, their recruitment team then reviews your qualifications against those required for the position you are applying for.

Candidates with skills and qualifications most closely aligned with the position requirements are then contacted directly by the recruitment team and invited for an appropriate phone interview or assessment based on the open position.

Interview Rounds

During the interview or assessment, they strive to learn more about you and to help you learn more about their company and the position you applied for. This is an opportunity for you to play an active part in providing examples of the level of experience you could bring to the position and your passion for the company.

They then inform you of their decision as quickly as possible following the interview or assessment. During the interview, prepare to give examples of how you gained and applied these skills in your academic and professional background.
