What is the hiring process at IBM?

IBM's scientifically validated assessments are designed to assess candidates in engaging, fair, and relevant ways for each role. IBM uses assessments to measure skills and abilities that do not commonly emerge during interviews. Common assessments include:

• Cognitive Ability

• Coding Assessment

• Video Assessment

• English Language Assessment

Candidates who are successful in passing these assessments will receive an invitation to interview. Those who are invited to additional interviews will experience a variety of interview types. Interviews may be conducted over the phone, through video, or in person, and candidates are often interviewed by more than one IBMer.

IBM may invite candidates to an Assessment Center to participate in a number of group exercises, with potential for an in-person interview on that day. IBM interviews involve a combination of job-related behavioral and situational questions to better understand your capabilities and prior experiences.

After the interview phase, successful candidates will be given a contingent offer as they complete the background check and other employment document checks. As long as there are no problems, they will be given a formal offer of employment at IBM.
